Under the “A Computer for My Academic Year” program, the equipment is loaned until July 3, the latest return date listed on your student account and communicated to you at the time of checkout. It is essential that the computer be returned to us before this date, as we will then perform the necessary reset procedures to make it available to other students at the start of the next academic year. No exceptions will be made.

Since the loan is intended to last for one year, and to ensure equitable access to the service, it cannot be renewed from one academic year to the next. PCs loaned out during the academic year must be returned by early July at the latest. They are then reset and made available for new loans at the start of the following academic year.
