Technology Resources

At Chatham, we believe in equipping our students with the technology they need for academic success. From software and security to Wi-Fi to computers, we aim to create an environment where technology enhances the experience inside and outside the classroom.

Laptop Requirements

For new undergraduate and graduate students, there are two laptop options to ensure students have a computer that meets Chatham’s technology requirements. Students may purchase a device through the Direct Purchase Program or bring their own device that meets all university or specific program requirements.
