Affordable Computers for Everyone!
ACE is designed to help students get the information they need to make the right decision when purchasing a computer for college. We work with academic departments to identify what models meet departmental requirements and recommendations, negotiate affordable pricing, and most importantly, provide ON-CAMPUS SUPPORT for ECU students.
Computer Purchasing for Students
Several ECU majors have requirements that students have a computer meeting specific minimum specifications to ensure that they are able to use their specific software with their computer. The ECU Student Store also sells computers that are specifically designed to fit the needs of ECU students.
