Request IT equipment loan

Request IT equipment loan

Need a laptop, monitor, or docking station for your program? If your courses require you to work off-campus, complete field placements, or attend co-op work terms, the IT Service Desk can lend you the equipment you need. This service is available to all currently enrolled full-time students who do not have access to a reliable personal computer.

What you can borrow

  • Laptops with standard software
  • External monitors
  • Universal docking stations and power adapters

You can also find information on setting up your own device in our IT FAQ for new students.

How to request equipment

Follow these steps to submit your request:

  1. Log in to the myWrenford student portal using your student credentials.
  2. Open the IT Service Desk section and select Equipment Loan.
  3. Fill out the online form with your program details, the equipment you need, and the dates you will use it.
  4. Submit the form at least five business days before you need the equipment.
  5. Collect your items from the IT Service Desk in the Kingfisher Building. You will need a student card and a signed equipment agreement.

Caring for your equipment

You are responsible for the equipment while it is in your possession. Keep the laptop and accessories in a safe place, and avoid using them near food or liquids. If the equipment malfunctions or is damaged, report it to the IT Service Desk immediately. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. We provide protective carrying cases for all laptops, and we recommend using them when traveling to class or your work placement.

Returning your equipment

All loan periods are tied to your program term. You must return all items to the IT Service Desk by the last day of classes. Late returns may affect your ability to register for future terms. If your program ends early or you graduate, return the equipment as soon as possible. You will need to sign a return form to confirm that all items are accounted for.

Fees

There is no fee to borrow standard equipment for the duration of your program. If you need equipment for a single short-term project, a $15 handling fee applies.
