WPAOG Parent Handbook 2023-24

WestPointAOG.org | 800.BE A.GRAD 33 Computer and ElectronicMail Computers and other technologies are integral to the cadet experience. Each cadet is issued a notebook computer during ReorganizationWeek. The device is equipped to be compatible with the West Point network, which connects more than 8,000 cadet, faculty, and staff computers, helping people to communicate. Cadet computers have a full, four-year, on-site warranty for routine repairs. Software required to support West Point academics and command functions is already installed on the computer when the cadet receives it. Cadets will be issued a computer package to include their laptop, peripherals, and back pack for transporting the laptop. The computers are intended to meet or exceed all requirements set forth by the academic departments and support the security policies and regulations of a military network. It is often essential that computers are brought to every class, and, as such, they are an essential part of the teaching environment. The on-site facilities can claim an average 24-hour (or better) turnaround time on hardware and software repairs. These repair facilities only work on the computers issued by West Point due to warranty and training programs.
