Let’s Talk about Computers…. 💻

Many students use computer labs or virtual desktops to access major-specific or advanced software. The virtual desktop allows students to use campus software on their personal device as if they are on a campus computer. As part of your student’s Office 365 account, they have access to five free MS Office licenses to use on personal devices as long as they are enrolled at UW-Platteville. These can be accessed when your student can access their UW-Platteville email account.

***The College of EMS provides additional computer recommendations for their students. Please review their document
