Although the Texas A&M University School of Public Health maintains computer labs at selected sites for graduate student's use, these facilities are not the primary computing resource. Each student entering the School of Public Health is expected to have a computer of their own (desktop, laptop, or tablet) that meets the minimum School of Public Health computer requirements. (This applies to all students)
The reason for this requirement is that a computer has been deemed to be critical to a graduate student's success. Those who do not have 24/7 access to the internet and a computer are at a great disadvantage. The Medical Sciences Library (MSL) has laptops, iPads, and a digital camcorder available for loan.
macOS minimum requirements
Some of your courses will use the following applications. Please check the system requirements.
Examplify: currently, this app doesn't run on Chrome, Android, or Linux operating systems. It doesn't support touchscreen input on Mac or Windows laptops. Exam-takers can view the instructions on how to update their device to meet the Examplify guidelines.
Dell laptops that meet our minimum standards may be purchased through a special purchasing agreement between Dell and the Health Science Center, but you are not required to purchase one of these computers.

However, there are some things you can do to prepare in advance to make it go more smoothly.
Troubleshooting
The SPH classrooms and Reynold building have access to two networks, HSC WiFi and Eduroam.
The other TAMU Buildings where some SPH classes are taught are using Eduroam.
