IT Marketplace Policies

Recommended Computers

The most important technology that you will need at Liberty is a computer and Liberty’s IT Marketplace offers several kinds of computers depending on what you want and need for your classes. Liberty has partnered with Dell, Lenovo, and Apple to offer students discounts on computers from all three manufacturers.

Liberty has also partnered with multiple software vendors to offer students great discounts on some of the software that they need for their computers, too. The Microsoft Office suite (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel, Access, OneNote, etc.) is available at a substantial discount from the IT Marketplace, along with much of the software that is required by individual classes in a variety of majors.
