All Fredonia students are eligible to participate in FLP.
Students may participate in the FLP or change the original order by June 19th.
All Fredonia students will be able to participate in the FLP beginning in the spring of 2022 with laptop distribution scheduled before the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester (typically late August).
The FLP will offer a moderately and advanced spec’d enterprise-grade laptop from Dell and Apple.
Students may participate by logging into YourConnection and going to the FRED Laptop page to select their laptop for ordering and agree to the lease-to-own terms and conditions.
Please review the Student Technology Recommendations and Resources.
Each laptop will be equipped with the latest Microsoft or Macintosh operating system. Office 365 is available for download by all currently enrolled students. Students may obtain assistance with the installation from the ITS Service Center located in Thompson Hall at 716-673-3407 or its.servicecenter@fredonia.edu.
The student is actually leasing the laptop via a lease-to-own program. The student will own the device when the last payment is received and with all applicable taxes. Students are billed in four installments over four semesters. If a student leaves school or takes a semester off prior to paying for their laptop, they must return the computer or pay the balance (plus taxes) still owed on the system. Students will also have the option to be billed for the entire amount of the laptop on their first-semester bill and would receive a discounted price for doing so. SUNY Fredonia Billing Procedures and Payment Requirements apply.
The ITS Service Center is equipped with an in-house warranty and repair shop that can perform warranty and non-warranty work on Dell and Apple FLP laptops issued to students. If an FLP laptop gets stolen, students will need to work with the University Police department to address the incident. Students are still responsible for the bill for the laptop if it lost or stolen.
Students sign a Student Agreement, which allows them the use of the computer until it is paid in full. Repairs to these laptops can be hundreds of dollars. If the problem with the laptop is considered a warranty item, the student pays only applicable deductibles to repair the laptop.
Yes. When an FLP laptop has to be sent out for warranty repairs, the student is able to receive a loaner laptop while theirs is being repaired.
Students may, at no time, upgrade the hardware on the laptops until the laptop bill has been paid in full and ownership has been transferred to the student. Once all required payments for the laptop have been received, ownership will be transferred to the student.
Students are allowed to take their laptops with them over breaks if they are registered for the next semester. If they have not paid in full or returned to SUNY Fredonia, they will be charged for the balance due on the laptop. SUNY Fredonia Billing Procedures and Payment Requirements apply.
If you are not returning to campus next semester and have not paid for your laptop in full, laptops must be returned to the SUNY Fredonia ITS Service Center or students can pay the remaining balance due on the laptop. Students will not be given a credit for the laptop if their turn it into the University. Students may mail their laptop via certified mail to the ITS Service Center using the following address:
