  • Students are limited to borrowing one laptop at any given time for a maximum period of two weeks, at which point they must return the laptop. If there are no subsequent bookings then the student may request to extend their booking.
  • If all laptops are loaned out, students can be added to a waitlist and will be contacted when there is a laptop available for them.
  • Graduate students will need to read the terms and conditions outlined for this program and leave a photocopy of their student ID with the PPA at the time of borrowing.
