- To borrow a laptop, graduate students will need to:
- read the terms and conditions outlined for this program; and
- come to the Caulfield office to digitally sign our loan agreement using their OKTA login.
- If there are any problems with the laptop, bring it to the MGA reception for the receptionists to resolve – please do not try to fix it yourself.
