| Mar 24, 2017 at 17:50 | comment | added | MissMonicaE | My university lets you check laptops out of the library (and gives everyone a network drive), so this wouldn't be an issue. Does your school do something similar, OP? | |

Not just before the choose a given course, e.g. a policy that all students in department XX must have their own laptop, including the spec and software etc. | |
