The Campus iStore @ Saint Mary's College

Buy the right computer for you and Saint Mary's College!





  

Recommended Computer Models

ResNet announces computer recommendations for specific Apple and HP computer models for Saint Mary's students each July to help make your purchasing decisions easier. 

We recommend specific MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models from Apple, and specific ProBook and EliteBook models from Dell. 

By waiting until the summer to buy a computer for college, you will be able to take advantage of educational discounts, new hardware and software available, and special "Back to School" sales our vendors offer.

You can order our recommended computers online through our custom Apple and HP websites.


Microsoft Campus Agreement Software

Saint Mary’s College is offering Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus for Students for free to all current Saint Mary’s students.
 
Office 365 ProPlus offers full versions of current Microsoft Office software that can be downloaded and installed on students' personally-owned computers. Versions of Office for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) are also included with Office 365 ProPlus.

Students can obtain a license for Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus for Students in person at the ResNet Office. Students must show their Saint Mary's ID card to verify their eligibility for this program and sign an agreement to obtain the license. The software can then be downloaded directly from Microsoft.

Microsoft software is available in the ResNet Office (113 Haggar College Center) beginning Thursday, August 18, 2016.



ResNet Support

ResNet refers to the student computer network on campus at Saint Mary's College and to the team that supports it. ResNet support is available to assist any student who requests help with her personal computer, mobile devices, and other technology issues during the academic year.

The guide includes a list of frequently asked questions and answers about ResNet to assist you with your search for the computer that best fits your needs.

The Campus iStore was developed by the Department of Information Technology to help students, parents, faculty, and staff select and purchase personal computers and software at educational discount rates from College-approved vendors. The Campus iStore does not carry any computers in stock, we only assist with computer purchasing process to help you make the best decisions for your needs.

Our recommended systems have been approved by our Information Technology professionals and meet the expected computing needs of our students for four years. The systems we recommend are the same models Saint Mary's College buys for our faculty and staff - we follow our own recommendations.

We strongly recommend that students wait to purchase a computer until you receive computer purchasing information from ResNet, which will be sent out in July. At that time we will be able to offer our specific computer recommendations for current Apple and HP models to help make your purchasing decisions easier, and you will be able to take advantage of new computer models, educational discounts, and special "Back to School" sales our vendors offer during the summer.

If you have questions about purchasing a personal computer, contact us via e-mail at istore@saintmarys.edu or call us at 574-284-4466.
