If you are unable to supply your own device...

Students who qualify for the Student Assistance Scheme may qualify for a loan laptop device. Laptop borrowing forms will be made available to students who qualify for the scheme. However, loans will be limited as there are many other ways to access computers both on and off campus:

• Short term laptop loans from the Student Learning Centre in O Block
• Trolley laptops available in each block for when class activities require a computer
• Free labs on campus in A Block and the Library (check the timetable on the door) - all students are provided with a personal campus computer login that features adequate network file storage space.
• Computers and computers bays in the Student Learning Centre

Please note that you will need to provide your own file storage for any work completed using borrowed devices or on campus computers. Backing up regularly to an external device is highly recommended. At the end of every year Technology Services wipe and recreate student accounts so a backup device is necessary if you have stored any files on your campus computer account.
