About Us: Laptop Loaner Program

Laptop Loaner Program

To support student success, Harcum College offers the Laptop Loaner Program, ensuring all students have access to the technology they need for their academic work. This program provides laptops for educational use, available to students for the duration of their active enrollment at Harcum College.

The Charles H. Trout Library staff manages all laptop loan requests. Laptops can be picked up during regular library hours. If needed, arrangements can be made to ship a laptop to a Partnership Site or directly to the student’s home. To request mail delivery, please include your mailing address on the Laptop Loaner Request Form and email laptoploan@harcum.edu to confirm delivery options.

All questions, including those about technical support, should be directed to laptoploan@harcum.edu.
