Checkout guidelines | Wireless/Off Campus Access | Late Fees

-
Laptops (Gateway models) may be checked out by registered UWSP students. Laptops are checked out on a first-come, first-serve basis, and require your student ID card. At this time, there are no reservations or renewals.
-
Laptops are checked out for 72 hours and MUST be returned to the Main Circulation Desk.
Wireless and Off-Campus Access
-
Laptops may be used with the campus wireless network or off campus. However, they will not be allowed to connect to the wired campus network; in computer labs nor in residence halls.
-
Directions for connecting on-campus and off-campus, along with instructions on using e-mail and instant messenger, are located on the desktop of the computer.
-
Students may load software in order to connect to the Internet as needed, or to use software that is not provided by UWSP.
-
Laptops will incur a $2.00 per hour fine on a prorated scale.
-
After five days, the laptop will be marked as lost. The student will be charged a $1500 replacement fee for the laptop, and a $100 replacement fee for the carrying case.
-
A replacement cost of $1500 will be charged to the student’s tuition account when a laptop is damaged beyond repair or stolen while loaned to the student.
-
Costs for repair of damages or replacement of missing parts will be billed to the student’s account per a completed IT (Information Technology) work order
