Laptop Loaning Program

Through the Student Laptop Loaning Program, the Education Services team is able to provide students and clients with free access to working Chromebooks. The purpose of the program is to help close the gap of inequity that exists due to lack of affordable technology. Upon signing our Laptop Loaning Agreement Form, any Education Services student and/or client can borrow a Chromebook through our department. The student and/or client may continue to borrow the Chromebook free of charge so long as the individual remains actively enrolled in one or more of the department’s programs.
