Equipment Checkout

 DoTS does not provide semester-long laptop checkouts. If you have a programmatic need for a laptop, please note the following options:

  • DoTS and individual colleges maintain computer labs with much of the required academic software installed (Virtual Lab)
  • Work with your instructor to identify an appropriate solution.
  • Contact Financial Aid, which may be able to assist with computer-related expenses for eligible students.

 

DoTS provides these commonly requested items for short term checkout to students, faculty, and staff. If you have long-term needs, you (or your department) may need to purchase instead. Availability is not guaranteed.
