Can I check out laptops, calculator, or other technology?
Answer
Laptops and Internet Hotspots: We have a limited number of laptops and internet hotspots that Cuyamaca students can borrow for the semester. The internet hotspots will provide a separate internet service from your home service to use for school work. Students will need to ask a Cuyamaca faculty or staff member to fill out a request form for the current semester. Best bet is to ask an instructor or councilor. Laptops and hotspots will be available for pick up after the semester starts, they cannot be picked up before the semester starts. You will have two weeks after being notified to pick up the equipment.
Some programs have their own laptops or other technology that be checked out through the library. Students must be enrolled in classes from those programs or be active members of the program's services. Those programs are EOPS, Umoja, Scholar's Program, Calworks, Engineering, Graphic Design, and Ornamental Horticulture. Check with each program for the restrictions on who can check out the technology. Requests for a program's technology that do not come from that program will be denied.
Employees can access the form on the CC Faculty Resources homepage on Canvas under the Course tab, if it is not available contact Amber Toland Perry for access. Or by contacting the Circulation at cuyamaca.circulation@gcccd.edu. If no options are available when filling out the form, that means we have reached our limit on those resources and they are no longer available. Do not fill out the form for a program or department that you do not belong to, it will be denied.
Calculators: The calculators check out for the semester and there is a sign up at the start of each semester before they can be checked out. Once the calculators are set for being checked out, bring your Student ID number, proof of enrollment in a Cuyamaca math class required, and on the BOG list. Either have a print out of your class schedule or just be logged into the Canvas class or Self-Service on your phone.
We also have calculators that can be checked out for a single day.
