Borrow a Laptop or Accessories

As a service to all active SHU users if you wish to borrow a Seton Hall-issued laptop for a short period of time you may do so by visiting the Media Services offices within the Walsh Library and/or Circulation Desk in the Walsh Library.

Please be advised, as the laptop being provided is a general use machine please do not save any documents directly onto the machine.

Upon return the machine will typically be restored to defaults settings and saved documents/settings will be removed.

If you will be working on a document on the provided laptop, please ensure to save your file(s) onto an external hard drive (i.e. flash drive) and/or to a cloud storage resource.

The Media Services department has a limited supply of laptops that they are able to provide to SHU users in the event that a customer forgets his/her laptop, needs to use a specific university software or otherwise you need to acquire a laptop temporarily.

But as the pool of laptops is limited they are provided as a first come, first served service.

  • Timeframe that device can be borrowed: Up to 4.0 hours

  • Those eligible to borrow device: all actively enrolled students or actively enrolled employees/faculty members with a functional network account

  • Location to acquire device: Media Services office on the first floor of the Walsh Library
