Laptop Loaner Program

WELCOME BACK TO HOSTOS (FALL 2026!)


We are excited to announce the relaunch of the Laptop Loaner Program. This Program is available exclusively to students currently taking classes (enrolled) at Hostos. The program is intended to assist Hostos students with their academic needs.

Laptop loans are issued for a maximum period of two weeks and must be returned on or before the specified due date.
 

ELGIBILTY:

  • Must be a Hostos Student who is currently enrolled/taking class in current semester. 
  • Must not have any holds on their account.

  2. I understand that this loan is valid for a maximum of two (2) weeks from the date of pickup. This is not a long-term loan and does not extend for an entire semester or the duration of my enrollment.
  3. I agree to return the laptop on or before the due date. Failure to do so will result in the loss of my eligibility to request a loaner laptop in the future.
  4. I understand that reminders regarding the return of the device are provided as a courtesy. Not receiving a reminder does not exempt me from returning the laptop on time.
  5. I acknowledge that communications related to this laptop loan will be sent to my official Hostos email address or via phone. An alternative email may be used as a secondary contact if necessary.

  8. I accept full financial responsibility if the laptop is lost and agree to pay the full replacement cost.
