Computing Standards

Students at UB are expected to have access to a computer—access beyond what is provided in the University’s public computing sites and department labs.

UB supports computers running the current (32-bit only) versions of Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, or Ubuntu/RedHat operating systems.

Our Students Needing Assistance Program (SNAP) provides help to incoming students in need of financial assistance. SNAP is a first-come, first-served program, and quantities are limited.

Note: Faculty and staff should work with their departmental support staff to determine the functionality.
