G2G Mobile@VCU
All VCU students are required to have a personal computer, and the G2G Mobile@VCU is here to help! Every year, the university establishes minimum specifications for computers, which are revised annually for each new entering class. Let the initiative help with your purchasing decisions for personal computers.
Please note: Some departments and schools recommend a specific configuration from among the options outlined by the university. You will need to check with the school or college in which you are enrolling to ensure that the minimum specifications are sufficient for your course of study.
