Program Loaning Guidelines
Prior to checking out a laptop computer, you must read and complete the online Electronic Computing Device Loan Agreement and Use Policy. Be sure to fill out all of the required information.
All equipment must be reserved using the appropriate form online. An appointment will be scheduled for equipment pickup.
You must present a valid RAMCard in order to check out equipment.
Multiple items can be checked out per loan, but there is limit of one per type of equipment item (laptop, iPad, camera, etc.) per check-out. However, multiple items of the same type can be checked out by faculty and staff for group use with pre-approval.
Equipment will be available for checkout for a maximum period of 5 days to WSSU students, faculty and staff in good standing with the university.
Clients should return equipment in a timely manner, so that we may accommodate as many clients as possible. If you find that you need to keep an item longer than anticipated, please notify our office as soon as possible. You must receive approval by TSS to extend scheduled return time. Equipment that is not returned within 24 hours of the agreed upon return date will be considered stolen and the WSSU Campus Police Department will be notified for retrieval. Equipment that is returned late will be assessed $5 per day for every day it is late.
Program Use Guidelines
Never leave equipment unattended while it is checked out to you.
Borrowed property may NOT be loaned to anyone else.
It is highly recommended that all personal files be saved on a USB Flash Drive. Any files created and saved on the laptop are automatically erased when turned off. WSSU nor OIT assumes any responsibility for files stored on the hard drive or on the laptop’s peripheral components.
Personal software may not be installed onto the laptop computer at any time.
WSSU reserves the right to freeze the asset.
Violation of the guidelines above will constitute grounds for refusal of future service and/or disciplinary action.
Financial Responsibility
Borrowers are financially responsible for the full replacement cost of all laptop loaner devices and peripherals checked out if lost, damaged, or stolen during the checkout period or full cost of repairs if repairs are necessary due to damage, including damage caused by spillage from food or beverage.
Any costs or fees that are accrued due to usage or negligence under this agreement must be paid immediately. A hold will be placed on the borrower’s account until the balance is paid.
If the WSSU Campus Police Department has been notified, then a hold and a fee will be placed on your student or employee account. Individual cases may be referred to Student Affairs or Human Resources as appropriate for additional actions.
If an item has been stolen, or if the equipment assigned to you is missing, please call campus police at (336) 750-2900 and the help desk at (336) 750-3431.
