All incoming SHU Law students are required to possess a laptop that meets our minimum specifications and use it for various onsite and offsite class purposes, including all law school exams.
As the law school classroom experience integrates technology continuously, both onsite and through remote instruction, and as all law school exams are taken using exam software, having and using a laptop is essential to a successful law school career. Please check the specifications below to ensure your laptop meets the minimum standard and that you are ready for class.
All students MUST have access to an offsite Internet connection that provides their device with at least
20mbs down and 10mbs up with latency or "ping" of 50ms or less. These minimum standards
should ensure proper use of synchronous video conferencing services such as Microsoft
Teams, Canvas or Zoom. To test your internet speed, click here.
If your internet service meets the above criteria but your device does not maintain
the speed listed or a stable connection, please see these pages to help troubleshoot your internet connection.
