PC Recommendations

Students attending JHSPH make frequent use of their PCs and/or laptops for research, writing and note taking. The Information Systems team strongly urges all students to upgrade their PCs (or purchase new ones) to meet the following technical criteria, ensuring them seamless access to the School’s networks and resources. Enrolled students are eligible for significant discounts on Dell equipment when purchasing new systems.

The School also provides wireless network access to access the Internet and school networking resources from within the Wolfe Street and Hampton House buildings. Students will need to meet with Information System Staff at designated times to have the school's key code added to their laptop. If you would like to purchase a new Dell system, view the instructions on the JHSPH Dell Premier Purchasing page.

Note: replacement cost for lost, stolen or damaged wireless cards is $50.
