Computer Purchases

Computer and/or printer purchase is not required by Whittier College. There are several labs throughout the campus with computers and printers.

If you do wish to purchase a computer, IT Services does not require a specific brand or platform for use on our network. We do however require that your system be 10.3 or higher for Apple systems, and that that your system be Windows XP or higher for Windows Systems.

Apple Systems

Whittier's recommended systems are listed on the custom Apple Store web page. You can, of course, configure your own system. Macintosh-compatible printers are available under Accessories in the Apple Store.
