Computer or Mobile Device Requirement

A mobile computer or device with wireless internet access, word processing capabilities, and ability to access UT Tyler course management system and the College of Pharmacy examination software (ExamSoft) is required. (Recommended devices and minimum requirements are provided.)

• Notes on Windows 8 and 10: You do not have to downgrade your computer system to Window 7. If you have a window 8 or 10 product, you may have problems connecting to the wireless internet, especially what is called "secureAir" here on campus where you have to put in your user name/password to access. This has been less of a problem on the guest wireless (PatriotAir). Our IT people have been able to connect on campus with window 8 and 10, but the best thing is to try it when you are here on campus and we can help trouble shoot this for you during orientation.

• Computer and Software Discounts on Dell products and software/hardware purchases are available for students, faculty, and staff of UT Tyler.
