OPTION ONE: Students may withdraw from the Existing Program and decline to accept a new notebook in fall 2008. Students will keep their current notebook and continue to receive tech support from the Office of Information Technology through May 2010. Under this option, students will pay the 2008-2009 revised tuition rate that does not include the cost of a new notebook ($10,300 per semester). In order to participate in this option, students will need to complete a Transfer of Ownership form at the Information Technology office in Charles Francis by May 2, 2008. This process will transfer the notebook ownership from the University to the student.

OR

Students will surrender their current notebook and receive a new notebook in fall 2008. Students choosing this option do not need to complete any paperwork.

Please note: Students who do not withdraw from the notebook program by May 2, 2008 automatically will be continued in the current program through May 2010. These students will receive a new notebook computer in the fall of 2008 (fall 2008 model).
