ASSISTANCE COMPUTER RESOURCES LOANER
STUDENT LAPTOP LENDING PROGRAM
General Description Hodges University makes non-classroom computer resources available to its onsite students via our libraries and student lounge areas. The University requires that students who take online courses or that are enrolled in an online program own a computer. While these practices cover most student needs, it is understood that on occasion a student may lose access to their home computers because of unanticipated repairs, upgrades, etc. In order to assist students during the temporary loss of their PCs, the University makes a limited number of laptops available to on campus students through a laptop lending program administered by the Office of the Registrar in conjunction with the Office of Information Technology. Loaner laptops are not intended for personal use and should only be used to complete Hodges University classroom assignments.
Policy The number of laptops available for lending may change without notice. Laptops will be lent to students who have a signed Student Laptop Lending Request Form from the Office of the Registrar. Laptops will be checked out for a limited period that may be extended only by completing an additional Student Laptop Lending Request Form. However, in no circumstance may the student be allowed to use a loaner laptop for more than 60 consecutive days. To ensure equitable distribution of limited resources, no exceptions will be made to this policy. Hodges University is not responsible for: • Unrecoverable information or documents left on the laptops. • Viruses, spyware, and associated repairs transferred between loaner laptops and other PCs. • Absences or missing classwork related to unavailability of loaner laptops.
