How do I borrow a laptop?
Answer
All Asnuntuck students who are registered for the current and/or next semester are eligible for a loaner laptop from the Library. The request process can take up to 10 business days, so it's important to request a laptop well in advance of when you need it!
Here are the steps for borrowing a laptop from the Library:
1) Fill out the Loaner Laptop Request form on the Library website. Be sure to include in that form an email address that you check frequently and/or a phone number you answer regularly.
2) Wait patiently! This is the hardest step! It takes 7-10 business days for multiple departments to complete the background work necessary to get you a laptop. If you would like to contact us during that time to get a status update, please feel free--but our staff may not be able to expedite your request.
3) Schedule a pick-up appointment. If we have a laptop available, an Asnuntuck staff person will reach out to you to set up an appointment. Due to staffing constraints, we are unable to fulfill walk-in requests, so making an appointment is critical!
4) Come to the Library for your appointment. It takes 20-30 minutes to get a student all set up on their computer, so please show up on time, especially if you have class or another appointment immediately following your pick-up.
5) Leave the library with your laptop! Your only responsibility from there (aside from taking good care of the laptop) is to either return the laptop at the end of the semester or renew it if you are enrolled in the next semester and still need the laptop.
