Technology Available at the Main Library: How to Check Out a Laptop
3-Day Laptop Checkout
Undergraduate students can checkout a laptop for a 3-day loan.
- Ask for a laptop at the Main Library Service Desk. It will come with a case and charger.
- Login to the laptop before you leave campus.
- Return it back to the Main Library Service Desk when you're finished by handing the laptop (including the laptop case and charger) directly to a staff member.
- If you need more than 3 days, please return the laptop and check out another one.
- Please save your documents to either a flash drive, email, or OneDrive.
Our laptops are popular and are checked out on a first come, first served basis, and please note:
- If the laptop is not returned after three days, then a $1,150.00 replacement charge will be assessed and forwarded to your account at the University Business Office (U-Bill).
21-Day Laptop Checkout
Undergraduate students can reserve & checkout a laptop for 21 days (and 1-week renewal).

- Login to the laptop before you leave campus.
- Twenty-one day laptop loans may be renewed for up to one additional week (max. 28 days total) by going to My Library --> Check My Account. Return the laptop and reserve a new one if additional time is needed.
