WakeWare Models
Each spring, Information Systems conducts an evaluation to determine which computers will be included in the WakeWare Program for the upcoming academic year. This evaluation consists of analysis of the device landscape, peer institution research, feedback from current students, and conversations with faculty and staff. Every year, models are selected that best meet the current needs of campus. Please note, WakeWare selections are subject to change as we are continually evaluating newly released models.
WakeWare models are specifically selected for undergraduate students. Graduate and professional school students are encouraged to refer to their program for specific computer requirements.
Wake Forest is committed to ensuring equal access for students with disabilities to academic, social, and recreational services, activities, and programs. If you need accommodations and/or specialized technology, please contact The Center for Learning, Access, and Student Success (CLASS).
