Student Computer Loan Program | Antelope Valley College

AVC's Student Computer Loan Program was established to support currently enrolled students who do not possess a laptop for academic use. We offer various devices for loans including Chromebooks, Windows Desktops, and Wi-Fi hotspots.

We are accepting applications for SUMMER 2021. To qualify, you must be an enrolled student with a minimum of three units or one class.

We are currently accepting applications for the upcoming FALL 2021 semester. To qualify, you must be an enrolled student with a minimum of six units or two classes. We will notify you if you qualify and will be setting up times for pick up closer to the beginning of the semester.

Students who are eligible will be notified by email and will receive an appointment to pick-up the requested device at a distribution location.

Antelope Valley College will begin distributing devices to students who need them starting May 10th, 2021 to support remote learning.

PLEASE NOTE: We are taking returns of borrowed computers and hotspots in the IMC, which is located on the first floor of Mesquite Hall, every Tuesday and Thursday from 3pm to 4pm and every Friday from 9am to 10am. Please make sure to wear a mask when entering the building. We will need your student ID number to log your borrowed device as returned.

I’ve heard some colleges are giving away computers. Is the computer mine to keep?

No, this is a loan of college equipment. When you pick up the device you’ll sign a form stating you accept the valuation of the computer as we’ve assessed it, and that you will return the device on or before the due date, in the same condition, or a hold will be placed on your account for the assessed value. We need these devices back to continue supporting students.

Can I still apply to the Laptop to Learn Program and receive a free computer vs the Computer Loan Program?

The Laptop to Learn program uses older refreshed computers and since this Computer Loan program has started there are no refreshed computers, therefore the program has been revamped into the new Computer Loan Program.
