Laptop loan service

SIT offers loan laptops for students who do not have access to a device capable of connecting to online classes and/or using Office 365.  

Students are eligible for a laptop loan device while they are currently enrolled and attending SIT classes, whether on campus or by distance.

To apply for a loan laptop academic or library staff can apply on a student's behalf.  You will be notified for collection from the SIT Library.  If you are a distance student the laptop will be posted to you.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you keep the box for ease of returning the loan laptop at the end of your course.
