Actual model may vary.
Students currently enrolled in at least one (1) academic Cañada class who need technology to complete coursework, are eligible to borrow available equipment such as Chromebooks, hotspots, and graphing calculators.
If you are a current SMCCD student with technology needs but are not enrolled at Cañada College, please check with the library at your respective campus where you are taking classes to access technology.
Please keep in mind that we cannot mail technology however, students unable to pick up their technology may have someone else pick it up on their behalf. Please contact the library for more details.
Unfortunately, SMCCD does not provide technology loans for community members but check with your local public library if you have technology needs.
If you have any questions please contact us by phone at 650-306-3485, or email us at [email protected] (please include your name and G-number when sending an email).
Come to the library circulation desk during open hours to request technology.
Your enrollment will be verified and you will be directed to complete an online Cañada College Library Technology Loan Agreement Form.
Present a valid photo ID (ex. student ID, driver license, state ID, passport, etc.).
Technology items will be checked out to you for the whole semester. (Please note: All check out periods are subject to change. It is your responsibility as the borrower to track due dates).
All equipment is due back at the end of the semester. This gives library staff time to do scheduled maintenance to prepare equipment for next instructional session.
Technology loans will begin the first day of the Summer 2024 semester which is June 10, 2024.
Technology continues to be in high demand as it is a shared student resource. Because of this, please be aware that if you are returning technology loans that were due at the end of the previous instuctional session then you will have to wait 1 week from the date you return equipment because library staff must run maintenace on equipment before it can be redeployed.
If you have questions about the current inventory available, please email the library staff directly at [email protected]. Please include your name and G-number when contacting us.
If we are unable to meet a student technology loan request, we will add that request to a waitlist for technology. Please know that we work with our district ITS department to identify additional resources in the case that we run out of college-supplied equipment, and we will contact all waitlisted students as soon as we have equipment available. Please use the form below to be added to the technology waitlist. For more information on how the waitlist process works, please review the Waitlist Procedure for Cañada Technology link under the Policies and Information section. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
