There is no "yes" or "no" answer to this question. You are not required to bring your own computer. However, some students prefer to have their own personal computers and you may find this more convenient. However, ASU's Information Technology Department offers comprehensive computing services during the school year, available 24 hours a day! There are computer labs located in many different areas of campus.

If you do choose to bring your laptop, we recommend that you buy insurance coverage and keep it in a safe place at all times.
