Free laptop loans for students

Did you know you can borrow a laptop for free using our 14-day self-service laptop loan scheme, or get a long-term laptop loan through the Digital Access Scheme?

If you need access to a laptop you can borrow one from one of our self-service Lapsafe lockers. You'll find the lockers at:

  • Craiglockhart library
  • Jack Kilby Computing Centre (JKCC), Merchiston
  • Merchiston library
  • Sighthill (LRC2)
  • Bainfield Student Accommodation

The 14-day laptop loan service is available during campus opening hours.

Thanks to funding from the Scottish Funding Council, we also provide laptops for long-term loan for eligible students who are struggling to access appropriate IT resources.
