St. David’s School of Nursing – Laptop Inspection and Requirements

Laptop Inspection

All incoming nursing students are required to have a laptop for the duration of the nursing program; passing a laptop inspection is a condition of your admission. To ensure your laptop meets our technology requirements, you are to have your laptop inspected by IT Assistance Center (ITAC) in either San Marcos or at the Nursing Building in Round Rock. Your window to complete this inspection begins on Monday, June 8th and ends on Wednesday, August 19th 2015. When you have your inspection, you will be given your Student Computer Inspection Report. This document is also attached so that you are aware of the requirements for laptops.

It is the School of Nursing’s expectation that on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at New Student Orientation – your laptop has passed inspection and you will be a full participant (with your laptop) in the technology presentation facilitated by Dr. Covington, SON Faculty and Eli Soto, Users Services Consultant.

It may be necessary for you to have more than one inspection if your computer has deficiencies. If you are required to get more than one inspection you may get it at either location as long as you have your Inspection Report. When your laptop passes all of the requirements – your inspector will keep your completed Student Computer Inspection Report and forward it to the SON.
