Laptop Loaner Program
Laptop Loaner Program Application & Agreement
Pillar College maintains a limited pool of loaner laptops requested by currently enrolled students who do not have a computer for academic use.
The laptop computer (Chromebook) and the computer charger are the property of Pillar College and are herewith being loaned to the student for purposes only for the agreement’s academic term. Students may not deface or destroy the property in any way. Inappropriate material on the laptop may result in the student losing their right to use the laptop. The equipment must be returned to the school at the end of each term or sooner if the student is discharged from school before the term.
