Laptop Loans and WiFi Support

As the fall semester winds down, a reminder that  Information Technology has a limited supply, available to Montclair State students, of laptops and Verizon WiFI JetPacks to loan for Winter Session and the spring semester.

Laptop Loans

Please only request a laptop if you need one for your coursework, as we have a limited supply available. If you do not have access to a personal computer, tablet or a computer lab (View Computer Lab Locations and Hours) to complete your coursework, follow the directions below to request a loaner laptop.

WiFi Support

Information Technology also has a limited number of “mifi” mobile hotspot devices (Verizon JetPacks) to loan if you do not have internet access at home and cannot enable the hotspot feature of your smartphone.

Please Note: The Verizon JetPack has a monthly data cap of 25Gb so you are strongly encouraged to use it only for essential course-related internet activity and not for non-course-related data-intensive activities such as Netflix, YouTube streaming, etc.
