Laptop Requirements by College
Villanova’s five undergraduate colleges (the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering, the M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing, the College of Professional Studies and Villanova School of Business) have posted information, guidelines and recommendations to help you get familiar with IT resources specific to each curriculum. This information will assist you in selecting the best computer that will meet your needs and be compatible with the campus network, and what you need to know if you already have a computer.   

Your Villanova Wildcard: Submit Your Photo by July 6
The Villanova University Wildcard is the official identification card for students that provides access to residence halls, dining, vending, library privileges, printing, sporting events and more. Students should upload a photo for their Wildcard by Monday, July 6. If you are a residential student, you will receive your Wildcard from your resident assistant on move-in day.

For Students Who Don’t Identify as Catholic: “How Can I Practice My Faith and/or Explore Spiritual Questions at Villanova?”
Villanova’s Office for Mission and Ministry provides students with many ways to connect and engage with the University’s Augustinian Catholic mission, while supporting all students in exploring questions of meaning and purpose through their own faith tradition or ethical perspective. Multifaith Ministry offers an array of resources and opportunities to make sure you feel at home on campus, no matter your background. If you are looking to connect with others with a similar faith identity, explore new spiritual questions and practices, or get to know your classmates of different faiths, we would love to help you get involved! Please fill out this Faith, Meaning and Values Survey.
