Laptop Lending Program

Welcome to the Laptop Lending Program. We offer access to essential technology resources to help you succeed in your studies here at MC. This program is continuing for the Fall 2024 semester with a limited number of laptops available to any MC student registered in credit-bearing courses. There is no cost to students to participate in this program. 
 
The program is managed by the Digital Learning Center, dedicated to empowering students with digital literacy. We want to provide students with equitable access to technology to achieve their full potential.
 
Should you have any questions, please reach out to us at dlcenter@montgomerycollege.edu.
