Dear Student,
We hope that this e-mail finds you well and that you have been able to get access to the resources you needed for completing your Fall 2021 semester at Hostos during these unprecedented times – Congratulations on completing the semester!
As you approach the end of the semester, and the completion of your final exams, we would like to share the information below on how you can return any equipment/devices that you may have borrowed from Hostos. This includes, but is not limited to, laptops, chromebooks, iPads, Calculators, graphic tablets and WiFi hotspots.
Please return your device to the campus C Building (450 Grand Concourse) - C-595 Student Computing Center. The pickup date days and times are as follows:
- Tuesdays – anytime from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Wednesdays – anytime from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Any additional changes to the schedule will be communicated via e-mail and the READY website.
It is important that you personally return the device or communicate with the IT department ahead of time if someone else will be returning a device on your behalf because there are certain steps that must be completed so we can clear your account of the outstanding device assignment. Also, please be sure to back up any work, documents, etc. that you may have downloaded on to these devices because once you return the devices you will no longer be able to access any files that were on them.
As noted on your loaner agreement, returning these devices in good condition and by the due date is your responsibility and critical to ensure that we can provide the device to other students in need.
You may be receiving additional outreach via your advisors or a text message reminding you to return your device.
IF you are currently enrolled for Spring 2022 classes, please reply to this e-mail with a screenshot or copy of your registration screen and the device CUNY/Hostos Barcode or Serial Number so that your device loan can be extended to May 2022. If you withdraw from all your classes at any point during the Spring 2022 semester, you must make arrangements to return your devices to the campus immediately.
IF you received an Incomplete grade and have an e-mail from your Professor permitting you to make up the work, please forward that e-mail to itjobrequest@hostos.cuny.edu.
Unfortunately, if we do not receive your device or confirmation of summer enrollment in a timely manner, we will need to apply a hold on your account.
Please allow sufficient time when picking up your loaner device; you may have to wait while the staff attends to other students. Please ensure to follow all safety practices for your health as you travel to/from campus to pick-up your device.
As always, please check www.hostos.cuny.edu/READY for up to date information related to the campus’ operations and services available during the COVID-19 crisis and any protocols that must be followed when coming to campus. You must comply with CUNY guidelines when visiting the campus.
A separate e-mail will be sent to students who have a new requirement for a loaner device in order to complete their Spring 2022 coursework.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and we wish you a safe and Happy New Year!
