Can I borrow a laptop?
Answer
Digital Services have laptops that can be loaned.
Short term laptop loans
You can borrow a laptop from the self-service LapSafe cabinets, these are situated next to the Student Hub in the Science Centre and also in Ashley2. The LapSafe devices are full Windows 10 laptops and can be borrowed for up to 48 hours.
I'm in Stafford/Shrewsbury
LapSafe self-service laptops are currently only available at our Stoke-on-Trent campus. If you are in Stafford or Shrewsbury, we have full-size laptops available for you to borrow. These are treated as normal Library items, so please approach the Library Help Desk to enquire about borrowing a laptop. We have two laptops available for Shrewsbury Campus based students only.
Long-term laptop loans
If you do not have a device that you can use for your studies at home, you can apply for a long-term loan of a device which will last for the whole academic year.
For help with other IT enquiries, just ask Beacon!
