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 will 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.

Please note: The Technology Loan Agreement Form should 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.
