About Us: Laptop Loaner Program

Laptop Loaner Program

Harcum College offers the Laptop Loaner Program to ensure all students have access to the technology they need to succeed academically. This program provides laptops for educational purposes, allowing students to use them for as long as they are actively enrolled in courses at Harcum College.

The library staff is responsible for processing and filling all laptop loaner requests. Laptops are available for pickup at the Charles H. Trout Library during posted library hours. Arrangements can also be made to have a laptop mailed to a Partnership Site or to the student's home address. To request mail delivery, be sure to include your home address on the Laptop Loaner Request Form and email laptoploan@harcum.edu to confirm delivery options.

All communication regarding the program, including technical support, should be directed to laptoploan@harcum.edu
