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 a semester from the helpdesk.
In order to receive a laptop we will need confirmation from a tutor that you do need one. To do so they will just need to email librarydesk-staff@bolton.ac.uk with a recommendation for a laptop loan.
The loans are issued to your student card in the same way a book is.
Please note that if you take a short term loan for one semester it may not be renewed for a second semester depending on the demand level for laptops.
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.
