At Gonzaga, all students are required to bring a web-enabled device to school every day. The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program is an opportunity for students to help shape their educational experiences. 

Acceptable devices include Macbooks, Chromebooks, Windows Laptops/Tablets, and Linux laptops.

This access can be at home, at a relative’s house, or at a public location such as a library or coffee shop. Gonzaga provides access to student workstations in the Library and the Innovation Commons from 7:30 AM until 3:45 PM on school days; WiFi is available constantly at the school.
