Yes! You’ll need a laptop for college.

NWACC requires all students to have access to a laptop or computer that meets minimum technology requirements for classwork. A phone, tablet, and some high school-issued Chromebooks won’t work for everything you’ll need to do because some courses require software that only runs on Windows. Having the right device ensures you can fully participate and succeed in your college coursework.
