Most classrooms at Drew offer the capability to connect a laptop to the installed projection system for academic classes. You can also contact the Media Resource Center (MRC) at (973) 408-3342 to arrange to use a projector for any on-campus event. Please be sure to contact the MRC well in advance if you will require equipment set up for an event or if you would like help connecting your laptop to the provided equipment.
Drew University Classrooms Offer VGA Connections Only
Different Mac laptops come with various ports and adapters that can be used to connect to a projector. You must have the appropriate adapter to convert your laptop's output to a "VGA" connection. Drew University neither stocks nor sells these adapters; they can be purchased at any Apple store among other places.
Connecting Your Laptop - Coming Soon
Detailed instructions will be available shortly. In the meantime, Apple's support site (http://www.apple.com/support/) may be of assistance: Connecting multiple displays or a projector.
Instructional Technology Services provides and supports VGA connection to the classroom systems. Mac users should be aware that in some situations Mac laptops are not able to complete the connection properly. We strongly advise that you call to schedule a test and demonstration well in advance of the day/time you plan on projecting from you Mac. You might also consider saving your material to a network or USB drive in a PC readable format as a backup if your room is equipped with a desktop computer.
