CARES Laptop Loan Program
The UGA libraries offers one semester laptop loans for enrolled students. Laptops will be due back two business days after the last day of finals.
Due to limited availability, laptop requests are first come, first served.

Eligibility
To be eligible for a CARES Laptop loan you must be a currently enrolled student at UGA.
If during the course of the loan the patron no longer requires a loaning laptop, the laptop should be returned as soon as possible to make it available to other students.
If during the course of the loan the patron withdraws from all classes, the patron is no longer eligible and must return the laptop as soon as possible to make it available to other students.
Loan Length
Each loan covers one academic semester according to the UGA Academic Calendar and is due back no later than two business days after the last day of finals of the loan semester. Checking the laptop out later in the semester does not change the due date. Exchanging the laptop due to malfunction or damage does not change the due date.
There are no renewals for this loan. Loaning laptops need to be updated regularly to stay in good working order. In order to secure the laptop for a subsequent semester, the patron will need to place a request once their laptop has been returned. Due to limited availability, subsequent loans are not guaranteed.
