Green frog with laptop

Ontario Tech students participate in BYOD TELE and will bring their own device for their academic studies. Please review the laptop standards on the BYOD TELE page for laptop standards.  These specifications are required for the university software to run successfully and without any interruptions on your device. Another option to acquire a laptop is through the suggested devices page.
