Equitable Access to Technology- Laptop Loan Program

The Equitable Access to Technology Laptop Loan Program is designed to be a resource for CCS students experiencing financial hardship toward the production of school projects via laptop while enrolled at CCS. These laptops are extremely limited and will be available on a case-by-case basis depending on student need and laptop supply availability. 

To apply, please request the Equitable Access to Technology Laptop Loan Program form by emailing diversity@collegeforcreativestudies.edu. Once the laptop loan application is approved, present the signed form to AVS Director Jerome Burns at the Taubman AVC Office.
