Overview
OIT is happy to offer short-term laptop loans through the Student Technology Center. These loans are for a standard duration of 7 days or less, but longer terms may be granted based on need and availability.
Please note:
- This equipment is only available for academic or related use. It is not for public use or for purposes other than the U of I academic mission.
- Laptops are distributed with a standardized Windows image, meaning that specialized software or advanced configurations cannot be installed. If you have these needs, please coordinate with your TSP for the loan process.
Lending Length
Equipment is lent for a period of 7 days at a time. At the end of the 7 days, the equipment may be able to be rechecked if there are no other requests. If the equipment is needed for longer than 7 days, please let us know. We are happy to make exceptions when able to help meet your needs.
Approval Process
Equipment loans are approved based on current device stock levels and are prioritized based on the merit of the request and the order in which it was received. We will approve the request as soon as we can verify sufficient stock levels, with the goal of ensuring that there is never less than a week between the requested pickup day and the approval of the request
