Device Loaner Program

Devices are now ready for Spring 2024 checkout!

The Device Loaner Program is available to currently enrolled CSUN studentsPlease note, if you are waitlisted for all your classes, you are not yet eligible for the program. 

The program provides technology to students who are without a device such as a computer or webcam so that they may continue their education uninterrupted. These devices will be checked out at no cost to current students. 

Check Outs

Devices may be requested through the CSUN Portal. Students will receive a confirmation email once a device request is approved with a link to create a pickup appointment at the CSUN University Library.

Returns

Devices checked out during the Spring 2024 semester are due on Friday, May 17, 2024. Return the device to the Library Technology Services desk located on the Main Floor of the University Library during service desk operating hours.

If you are enrolled in the Spring 2024 semester and checked out a device during the Fall 2023 semester, your device will be automatically renewed for the Spring 2024 term.
