Loaner Devices

If students need a better device for their Google Meet class/DL platform work, we have these devices available (you do need to be active and attending class/doing work online to receive one):

• iPads
• Netbooks
• a few laptops
• internet hotspots

Loaner devices require a $40 cash deposit, which is given back to the student when they return the device (around 8/31). If a student needs a device, you can let your teacher know OR students can fill out the tech request form here: Technology Request Form.

You can also find all of this information on our new Tech Help web page on the Hubbs wesbsite. The web page also details the following:

• Tech help staff contact info and hours
• Local computer repair options
• Low-cost laptop resources
• Tech help videos (DL platforms, Google Meet, GED.com)
