Important Computer Requirements
All new students accepted into the Accounting and Computer Information Systems majors in the College of Business (CBA) are required to have a laptop. All other students in the CBA are highly recommended to purchase a laptop through this program, but are not required. Click here for more information.
All other new students have the option of purchasing a laptop through Rider's laptop program, with the choice of a Dell PC or Apple. Participating students are required to pay the $50/semester laptop fee and will receive full Help Desk support, including a loaner laptop if needed.

If you have not already done so, be sure to arrange to have all final official academic transcripts (including any recently completed academic work) forwarded to the Office of Undergraduate Admission before your first day of class.
