Please note the following schedule changes from prior years:
- We are open for three hours on Labor Day;
- Traditionally, new freshmen laptop deployment was held on Tuesday; new freshman will be issued their laptops during June/July orientation days. This change should result in shorter wait times for laptop exchange/deployment.
- Laptop deployment closes at NOON on Thursday, September 5th and reopens the next morning at the Technology Help Desk.

Benefits of the eStout Program
This program supports UW-Stout's digital learning environment, which helps our students to be successful in achieving their academic goals. The program ensures that both eligible students and faculty have a standard set of tools — hardware and software — to meet a majority of their wireless computing needs, thus creating a wireless laptop campus environment.
The eStout Program is more than just a computer! Students receive:
- Laptop computer (see hardware and software specs)
- Backpack
- Software
- Wireless and wired connectivity on campus
- Course management system
- Training, service, and support
- Network storage
- Multimedia classrooms
Students are eligible for the eStout program if they are paying eStout tuition as either:
- an undergraduate, degree-seeking student enrolled for one (1) or more undergraduate credits, or
- an undergraduate, non-degree-seeking student registered for three (3) or more undergraduate credits.
Exclusions
Students are not eligible for the eStout program if they are:
- paying customized instruction (CI) tuition rates,
- enrolled in the Early College Credit Program
- paying graduate tuition rates,
or - enrolled only in English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
- A student ID is required. No other form of identification will be accepted. If you do not have a student ID card, please contact the Campus Card office.
- You yourself must be present to sign and receive a laptop. Laptops cannot be shipped.
- If your registration changes prior to laptop deployment, your eligibility may be affected. If your schedule changes before traveling to UW-Stout, please email Joan Wahl to verify your continued eligibility.
Keep a laptop after graduation! No additional cost!
The digital culture at UW-Stout is emerging as a dynamic agent for changing the ways we learn. The eStout Program is included in undergraduate student tuition and fees so that students are provided with the tools that they need to be technology-literate in this environment.
