Emergency Laptop Loans

While all students are expected to bring their own devices to campus (see the Technology Resources Acceptable and Responsible Use Policy in the College Catalog), we know that emergencies happen.

If your laptop crashes, the battery dies, or you forget it at home, loaner laptops are available at the Student Success Center (SSC) during regular business hours.

Important Details:

Each student may borrow up to 15 laptops per semester.
In emergency situations, loaner laptops should be returned by the end of the business day.
Extenuating circumstances can be discussed with the SSC Coordinator to ensure availability for all students.

This service ensures that students can continue their coursework even when technology issues arise.
