Across Seattle Colleges, the Library, IT, and Auxiliary Teams work together to provide technology checkouts to community members. Seattle Colleges has limited availability of equipment available to loan for students, faculty, and staff use. We are constantly working to increase this availability, but please know we cannot guarantee that we can supply the equipment you request.

By borrowing equipment, you are acknowledging that you understand each of the following:

  • Equipment is to be used for Seattle Colleges' learning, teaching, or administrative work only.

  • Personal content is not to be used or stored on the equipment.

  • Equipment is loaned to students one quarter at a time, though continuing students can request a renewal.

  • Students are responsible for the prompt return of all equipment and accessories; failure to return equipment may result in loss of borrowing privileges.

Use this IT Technology Request Form to submit a request.

Someone from your home campus will contact you to let you know if we can fulfill your request, and if so, to make arrangements for pickup or delivery. If you need additional help using or purchasing technology, please contact IT by visiting https://sd.seattlecolleges.edu or via email at ITHelp@seattlecolleges.edu
