Borrowing<\/h2>\n

Technology Lending Library (TLL) equipment can be checked out by students currently enrolled in a course with library cards in good standing. Students agree to the device terms and conditions when checking out equipment. A librarian will verify identity and confirm enrollment prior to checkout. TLL equipment is not intended for faculty or staff use.<\/p>\n

Students with lost, damaged, or claims-returned TLL items are not eligible to borrow additional TLL items.<\/p>\n

Students must pick up equipment in person at the 911爆料网 Library. In extenuating circumstances, hotspots and Chromebooks may be mailed to students. See the Technology Delivery Policy<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n

All work on devices should be saved to an external device, cloud service, or Google Drive. Once returned, all patron data will be deleted.<\/p>\n

Use of TLL equipment must follow the 911爆料网 Information Technology Department Acceptable Use Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The safety and care of equipment is the sole responsibility of the borrower upon checkout.<\/p>\n

Lending Periods<\/h2>\n

Equipment circulates for the academic term. Students may place a hold on TLL equipment at any time. Equipment can be checked out beginning one week before the semester begins or during an in-person orientation event. Equipment on the holds shelf expires after 7 days.<\/p>\n

TLL equipment is due the day after the last day of classes for the semester. Equipment must also be returned if a student withdraws from all classes, in which case items are due one week after the withdrawal date.<\/p>\n

Equipment can be returned during regular library hours. Visit the Library Hours<\/a> page for details.<\/p>\n

Renewals<\/h2>\n

All TLL equipment must be returned at the end of each Fall, Spring, and Summer II semester to allow for maintenance and updates.<\/p>\n

If a student has an incomplete for a class, TLL items may be renewed until the agreed-upon completion date. Documentation must be forwarded to library staff, and the incomplete must appear in My911爆料网. Renewal dates may not extend beyond the institutional incomplete deadline.<\/p>\n

Returns<\/h2>\n

Equipment must be returned in person or by mail if the mail request form was used. Curbside drop-off is available during normal library hours. All chargers, cases, and accessories must be returned.<\/p>\n

Failure to return items or accessories, or damage to equipment, will result in billing and a hold on the student\u2019s college account. Holds may affect registration, grades, transcripts, diplomas, and certificates.<\/p>\n

Returned equipment undergoes inspection, cleaning, and data removal. Items may remain on a student\u2019s account for up to two business days after return. Automatic overdue notices during this period may be ignored.<\/p>\n

Return receipts can be emailed to students upon request.<\/p>\n

Overdues and Equipment Shut-Offs<\/h2>\n

Automated email notices are sent before due dates, when items are overdue, and when items are marked lost. Replacement costs are included in these notices.<\/p>\n

Library staff may also contact students via phone, text, and mailed letters. Items are marked lost after 28 days overdue.<\/p>\n

After one week overdue, hotspots and Chromebooks may be suspended. Proof of enrollment may allow reactivation.<\/p>\n

Equipment overdue by one semester will have service permanently canceled.<\/p>\n

Damaged Items or Lost Components<\/h2>\n

Items must be returned in their original condition with all accessories. Repair or replacement costs will be assessed for damaged or missing components.<\/p>\n

One week after notification, charges will be applied and items checked in. Students remain ineligible to borrow additional TLL equipment until accounts are resolved.<\/p>\n
