Library Welcome Guide: 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.

When loaning a SIT laptop you are agreeing to the following conditions:

• No additional software will be installed on these devices.  Students requiring access to SIT software must use the same resources (labs or virtual desktops where available) as all other students.
• The device remains the property of SIT.
• The device may not be used or transferred to any person other than the assigned student.
• The student may not tamper or alter any part of the settings or software of the device.
• The student is to maintain the device in good condition throughout the duration of their loan.  This includes connecting the device to our network regularly to ensure it is kept updated.
• It is the student's responsibility to insure the equipment against loss if required.  The student will be bound for the specified period of this contract in the event of permanent loss or irreparable damage of the equipment.
• The student will be liable for the cost of any damage, other than normal wear and tear, caused by abuse or negligence.  The charge will be determined by the Chief Financial Officer of SIT but limited to the original cost of the equipment.
