Loyola College does not require students to bring a personal computer to campus. The availability of computer labs provided by the school makes it possible for a student to complete four years of matriculation without one.  However, most students find that it is more convenient to bring their own PC with them since a network connection is provided for each student in all dormitory rooms. Hardware and software installation, configuration, and on-going maintenance of personally-owned computers is the responsibility of the student.

Course material used by most faculty is Microsoft Windows-based, and extensive use is made of the Microsoft Office suite of software (Word, Access, Excel, and PowerPoint). It is recommended that students have their own copy of MS-Office for their own PCs.
