Laptop Loan Policies
- Laptops are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as they become available. Depending on demand and the length of the waitlist, you might wait up to 2-3 weeks before one becomes available. When a laptop is ready for you, we will contact you by email.
- Laptops can be borrowed by anyone with a valid Cornell ID.
- Laptops should be returned to the library they were checked out from.
- Mann laptops may be borrowed for up to 2 weeks.
- Do not leave laptops unattended for any length of time! You are responsible for any equipment lost, damaged or stolen.
- You will not be able to install software that requires admin privileges. Browser extensions and portable software can be used, but our current security requirements do not allow for anything that requires admin privileges. If you’re missing something for a class, please check out Apps on Demand to see if you have credentials based on your course. If not, reach out to your professor about seeking access to the necessary software.
