Temporary Laptop Lending Program
Our office in Lerner 601 has a limited number of loaner laptops that students are able to borrow for a period of up to two weeks while they repair or replace their own computers. Please contact Student & Family Support at ugrad-family@columbia.edu if you would like to request a temporary laptop.
Laptops and chargers are also now available for students to borrow from the Digital Humanities Center located in Butler Library, Room 305. This equipment, including 20 Dell PCs and 19 MacBook Airs (with chargers), is available to check out for a one-week loan period. By borrowing a laptop, charger, or related accessory, users agree to the Laptop and Charger Use Policy. For a complete list of equipment available, visit the Laptops and Chargers web page.
