Collaboration platforms empower you to work with peers from different locations, and since your work is stored in the cloud you can access it from anywhere with an internet connection.

Many software programs you use at work can also be downloaded to your personal computer too:

For those students who have no internet access at home, or need access to a hotspot, a number of providers are offering reduced cost and/or open services. Please check the services currently being offered by your provider:

  • Optimum​
  • Service Electric
  • Spectrum
  • Sprint
  • T-Mobile

Rider has a limited set of laptops available for student use on a first-come, first-served basis for remote instruction only. To assure these limited resources are shared with the students with the greatest need, we ask that you only request a laptop if you have no other access to appropriate technology to complete your coursework.

Loaners will only be provided to students meeting certain criteria. To inquire about a loaner laptop, please submit a ticket to the Technology HelpDesk  that includes a contact number.
