Laptop and Hotspot Loaner Program
Laptops
NEW Starting Winter 2023 students no longer need to submit the Laptop Form for approval prior to borrowing.
Students who need access to a computer for Kalamazoo Valley coursework may borrow a laptop on a walk-in basis at either campus library. Eligible students may borrow a laptop on a first come, first served basis during regular library hours. Laptops are available for checkout one week before classes begin, and are available through the end of the semester. A Valley ID is required for checkout.
All laptops have webcams and microphones, and are able to access Canvas and Zoom. The laptops also have Microsoft Office and Respondus Lockdown Browser installed.
For more information on laptop borrowing, please see the library's Laptop Borrowing page.
