Equipment Checkout

DoTS does not provide semester-long laptop checkouts. If you have a programmatic need for a laptop,
  • know that DoTS and individual colleges have computer labs with much of our academic software installed
  • work with your instructor to find a solution
  • work with Financial Aid, who can help with computer expenses for certain 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.
