Student Loaner Laptop program continues in Spring with new eForm link

Cincinnati State’s “Loaner Laptop” Program will continue for Spring Semester 2022.

Registered students have the option to borrow a laptop computer and/or a Wi-Fi hotspot from the College at no cost. 

• The name of the eForm that supports this program has been changed to “Student Technology Loaner Program”. The updated form is available now for students who need a laptop or hotspot for use in Spring Semester.
   
• Students must be logged into MyCState to access the form, and must be registered for Spring Semester classes (15-week or 10-week) before submitting the form.
   
• The previous eForm, “COVID-19 Student Technology Loaner Program,” has been disabled.
   
• Students who are using loaned equipment in Fall and are registered for Spring classes can submit the eForm to renew their use of borrowed equipment.

Students also have options to purchase computers using some of their financial aid funds.

• Students using financial aid to purchase a computer immediately must buy a “CState Recommended” computer from the College Bookstore.
• Purchases can be made online, with arrangements for delivery to the student’s address or pick-up at the Bookstore.
   
• Computers purchased using financial aid cannot be returned to the Bookstore for a refund unless the package is unopened.
   
• Students who wait to use their refund of “excess” financial aid can purchase a computer from any store/vendor.
   
• Students should talk to a Financial Aid advisor for more information.
