Laptop Program

The library's laptops provide students access to the technology needed to maintain good academic standing, but the laptops are not a substitute for owning a computer.

Because the laptops provided through the program are designed to fulfill a temporary need, they can be checked out for a maximum of 7 days with no opportunity for renewal. Students in good standing with no fines or fees on their library account may check out another laptop if additional machines are available when one is returned.

All laptops are serviced upon their return. Additional fees may be assessed if damage to the laptop is discovered during servicing.

Faculty requests for laptops should be directed to the ITS department.

Library laptops do not include access to Microsoft Office products.

Library laptops do not connect to campus printers because the printers are not wifi compatible.

Laptops are not available for online students.

The library does not ship laptops. Users must be able to pick the computer up and return it in the campus library.

A laptop borrower has the following obligations:

• The borrower agrees to assume all charges for lost or damaged equipment, up to $1,500 for the cost of a replacement laptop, assessed directly to the student's account for billing purposes if items are not returned by their due date or are returned in a state of disrepair. Final costs are determined in consultation with campus ITS.
• The borrower agrees to return the equipment and its original packaging materials to the campus library during its posted hours of operation and assumes all responsibility for damaged equipment or materials billed as lost when not returned appropriately.
• The borrower agrees to return the equipment by its due date. Any shipping required is included in that 7-day window and at the borrower's expense. Items in transit in shipping will still be assessed processing fees if received in the campus library (not in the campus mailroom) after the due date. Any damage incurred in shipping is billed to the student, up to full replacement charges.

Desktop computers are available in the following buildings. Lab hours, if applicable, are posted on campus. Buildings have variable hours, but some labs are open 24/7 for your convenience.
