Access to the right technology will be vital to your success at Escoffier.
\nIf you do not currently have access to a computer, we highly recommend purchasing one before your start date. Chromebook computers are typically a very affordable option, and will meet all requirements of our programs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do I get a Chromebook?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get a Chromebook in any one of the following ways:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purchase from a retailer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walmart<\/a><\/span><\/strong> offers many options, and some of their Chromebooks even include monthly finance plans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amazon<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is another retailer that offers a variety of Chromebook options at affordable prices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purchase one in-person. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other large stores sell Chromebooks in-store. This option allows you to bring your Chromebook home that same day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purchase through Escoffier:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re unable to purchase directly from a store or retailer such as Walmart or Amazon, talk to your Financial Aid Advisor to find out more about buying one through Escoffier’s Chromebook program for the $250 Technology Fee. Financial Aid Advisors are available at (877) 452-5489 Option 1.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please note that if you purchase your Chromebook yourself, you will not pay the $250 Technology Fee.<\/em><\/p>\n
