Technology Lending Program

The CPP Library Technology Lending Program provides access to a variety of devices available for hourly & semester-long loan.

Dell Laptops

A limited number of Dell Laptops are available for semester loan.
Priority will be given to students with the greatest need.

To check out a laptop, students must first complete the Care Center's Technology Loaner Request form. Please be advised that a new form will need to be completed at the beginning of each semester. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact the Care Center at (909) 869-5071 or email carecenter@cpp.edu.

A Technology Loan Agreement Form must be completed prior to coming to the 2nd floor Circulation Desk to check out any Tech Lending devices.

If you are in immediate need of a short-term laptop loan, the Library has a very limited number of laptops available for 4-hour loan.
Please note that these loans are non-renewable.

 

Using Tech Lending Laptops

Technology items are owned and managed by Cal Poly University, and as such, these items do not have the same functionality or accessibility a personally owned device is capable of. Please be aware:

  • All Tech Lending devices must be connected to eduroam for Wi-Fi and internet access at the time of checkout. Due to this, laptops borrowed through Tech Lending require authentification using the borrower's Bronco username and password.
  • Students are not permitted to install additional software on these devices.
    • Access to class-required programs are available from an Internet browser by using the Virtual Software Lab.
  • Printing has been disabled on Tech Lending devices due to campus security. Please visit the University Library website for more information on resources regarding scanning and printing.
  • Do not save data to the hard drive or desktop of loaned devices. Anything saved on the hard drive or desktop will be lost when the device is returned. Make sure to save your data to a flash drive, cloud, or email your data to yourself.

Access to Tech Lending is a privilege that will be revoked if the service is misused. Any misuse of borrowed Technology items for illegal purposes, unauthorized copying of copyright-protected material in any format, or transmission of threatening, harassing, defamatory or obscene materials is strictly prohibited.
