Loaner Technology for Current UM-Dearborn Students

Problem/Question

Are there any on-campus options for loaner tech? 

Overview

  Loanable technology refers to devices and equipment that are available for loan or checkout to eligible students. These resources are typically provided by the university to help students complete coursework and other academic projects. Examples of loanable technology include laptops, cameras, audio recorders, and other multimedia equipment.

There are multiple units on campus that have pools of devices and resources that are available to eligible students.
