Borrowing Laptops

Central Queensland Campus Students

Laptops and accessories are available for loan by CQUniversity students from the Information Desk at each of our CQUniversity campus libraries. They are provided to assist students with their studies. 

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney Students

At this stage students are unable to borrow laptops.

Laptop Loan Agreement Form

A Laptop Loan agreement form must be completed each time you borrow. At the time of borrowing, staff will take a few minutes to go through the agreement with you to ensure you understand the conditions of borrowing and to check that all contents of the package are included. 

A full replacement cost will be charged for loss or theft of a laptop whilst in your care, we recommend that you do not leave the laptop unatttended. You are also liable for the replacement or repair costs of any damage to components beyond fair wear and tear e.g. the mouse. A processing fee will not apply under these circumstances.

Lending Regulations

• Undergraduate, Honours and Postgraduate coursework students may borrow a laptop at any time of day for 3 days.
• Postgraduate Research students may borrow a researcher's laptop for an extended loan period with prior approval of the Research Services Librarian.
• Laptops may be pre-booked for a particular date. Failure to collect laptop within 1 hour of the booked time will result in the lapse of the booking.

Saving Documents

Any files you may have saved to the laptop's hard drive will be deleted every time the laptop is turned off or returned to the Information Desk. You will need to save your files to disk, USB drives or email files to yourself.
