# Resources and services for students
## TLSS's mandate is to support faculty, but it also develops resources for students to help them use learning technologies.
Important information about student computer minimum requirements
When embarking on a journey to pursue a university course, it is imperative to ensure that your computer meets certain minimum requirements. These requirements are the backbone of your academic success, as they directly impact your ability to engage with course materials, complete assignments, and participate in virtual learning environments. On the following IT webpage, you will see the essential computer specifications and hardware components necessary to navigate the demanding world of university-level programs. Whether you're a prospective student or looking to upgrade your existing setup, understanding these minimum requirements will help you make the most of your educational experience. [Let's dive into the key considerations for your academic computing needs](https://www.uottawa.ca/about-us/information-technology/services/computers/technical-specification "Link to the Technical Specifications for Student Laptops webpage")..
