Can I opt out of the Laptop Program fees?

No. We purchase software and services for Laptop Program students to fulfil curricular requirements and get the most savings for students. 

• Students in the Laptop Program pay fees on an annual basis for software and support.
• Laptop fees are specific to your program and year of entry, are charged automatically upon registration, and are mandatory.
• Laptop Fees appear under "Laptop Fees" tab on the Student Finance account activity.
• The annual cost of fees are split 50/50 between Fall and Winter. Students who only enroll in one semester pay 50%. No fees are charged in Summer.
• More information can be found on the OCAD U website IT Services, Laptop Program Guide or contact the IT Services Help Desk
