Borrowing Computers and Video Equipment (Students)

Wharton students can borrow laptops and select other equipment/technology for free.

Loaner Laptops

Wharton Student Computing offers loaner laptops for Wharton students that need a laptop while theirs is either in the process of hardware repair, or they are currently purchasing a replacement due to hardware issues and do not have access to another machine. The maximum loan time is five business days, but in some circumstances may be extended if the student's laptop is still out for repair. Due to the limited resource pool, the Wharton Student Computing loaning program does not allow students to sign out laptops for other activities, however in some cases there may be consideration for special circumstances such as exam taking if there are available machines. Before a student may sign out a loaner, they must provide proof their current machine is being repaired or proof a replacement has been purchased. A laptop cannot be borrowed if classes are not in session.

Availability of loaner laptops is extremely limited. To request a loaner laptop,  please email support@wharton.upenn.edu to see if any are available to borrow.
