Longer term laptop loans for eligible students
If you have received full entitlement of Student Finance support you can apply to borrow a laptop for the full duration of the academic year. Please contact the Student Advisors to make an application.
Short term loans for students
If you are struggling for access to a laptop and need to borrow one on a short term basis, for example while your personal laptop is being repaired, short term loans are available that will last for 3 weeks from the Library Helpdesk.
These loans will not be renewed so if you need a longer term loan please see the student centre contact information above.
Unlike last year's scheme you do not need to contact a tutor for approval, just ask at the desk for a loan.
Laptops borrowed under this scheme are issued to your library account in the same manner as a book.
If you have any queries about either scheme please email library@bolton.ac.uk
University Staff
Staff needing to borrow a laptop for work purposes should discuss their needs with their line manager and Head of Department. Their Head of Department can make a request on their behalf to the Head of Information Systems and Technology.
Once the request is approved, a member of the Library Helpdesk will be in touch to arrange the loan of the device.
