Usage Guidelines

• Laptops are to be used for academic purposes only.

Care and Maintenance

• Students are fully responsible for the care and maintenance of the laptop and charger during the loan period.
• Any damage or technical issues (to either the laptop or the charger) should be reported immediately to the IT Service Desk and may result in a damage fee not to exceed the full value of the laptop ($400). 
  
  

Return Policy:

• Laptops must be returned or have their loan renewed by the due date to the IT Service Desk in Blue Bell (ATC 3^rd Floor), or the Library Circulation Desk in Pottstown. Don’t forget the charger!
• If a laptop is not returned by the due date, it will be considered lost/stolen and a replacement fee of $400 will be assessed to your account.
• In order to have the $400 fee removed, you MUST return the laptop within 120 days of the charge appearing on your account.
• Laptops will not be accepted after the 120 days, and you will be responsible for the full replacement cost of $400.
• Laptops must be returned in the same physical condition as when they were provided to you. Upon return, all personal information will be permanently removed from the machine. Please back up your data accordingly.*

*We recommend using either a personal flash drive or external hard drive (Student is responsible for obtaining this on their own – The college does not provide these types of devices). Alternatively, cloud-based storage via Microsoft OneDrive is available to students at m365.cloud.microsoft/onedrive.

Please note that students will have access to OneDrive files for a period of one year from the completion of their last course, as stated in the student handbook.

Liability:

• Students are liable for any loss or damage to the laptop during the loan period.
• In case of loss or damage, the student will be charged the replacement cost of the laptop ($400).
• If a laptop is returned damaged, a new unit will not be provided until the repair/replacement cost has been paid.
• If the laptop is returned without the charger, or the charger must be replaced for any reason, a fee of $50 may be assessed.
