ALL students (new and returning) will need to bring the following required items with them to the Library to check out a laptop: 

  • Current Semester Bill/Statement from Business Office and SIGNED by Business Office – statement must show either a zero ($0) balance or enrollment in the payment plan
  • Current Semester Schedule – maybe printed out in the Library at no cost but it MUST BE A PRINTOUT – Showing screenshots on phones and/or other devices do not fulfill this requirement
  • IDENTIFICATION

The College Libraries cannot hold laptops for students
All student laptops are available on a "first-come first-serve" basis ONLY
