The e-Scholar Program is the digital learning environment at UW-Stout which offers students a variety of opportunities to be successful in achieving their academic goals. The e-Scholar Program is included in all undergraduate student tuition.
Students who will be entering UW-Stout will receive information from the Advisement Center about laptop deployment dates and times prior to the term. Students will receive the laptop, accessories, backpack and training as a part of the deployment process. Student ID’s are required.
The e-Scholar Program ensures that students and faculty have a standard set of tools - both hardware and software - that meet a majority of their wireless computing needs, thus producing a wireless laptop campus environment. The digital culture at UW-Stout is emerging as a dynamic agent for changing ways we learn. All of our students are provided with the tools that they will need to be technology literate in this environment.
UW-Stout leases laptop computers and issues them to e-Scholars on a two-year replacement cycle. Students enrolled in three or more credits receive a laptop, and the cost is included in the tuition for attending UW-Stout. Students enrolled with 1-2 UW-Stout credits may check out a laptop from the ASK5000 Help Desk for short term use. Graduate students and Customized Tuition students are not eligible for the e-Scholar program.
The laptop is distributed to students during specific deployment sessions four times a year and includes training to assist students with the use of the laptop and campus computing resources. Students receive a laptop computer, backpack and a variety of cords/accessories during deployment. The e-Scholar program includes software, wireless and wired connectivity on campus, portal and course management systems, service and support, training, network storage, email, web page space, and multimedia classrooms. The e-Scholar Program is more than just a laptop computer!
Students are encouraged to purchase a printer although printing is available across campus at a minimal cost.
