Long-Term Laptop Program

View the list of campus Computer Labs on the ITS page by clicking the ITS Computer Labs List link provided below.

The library has laptops available for check out for up to 6 hours. The laptops cannot be held overnight and must be returned the day they are checked out. Laptops are only available to Wartburg students, faculty, and staff.

• Laptops contain several useful types of software and applications.
  • NOTE: Users cannot download additional software or remove any software from the laptops.
• Laptops are intended for short term use on-campus (in your dorm, in the classroom, during a study session, etc.).
• Wartburg individuals sign in using their Wartburg credentials and are expected to sign out of their profile before returning the laptop.
  • All laptops will have profiles removed at the end of each term.
• Students do not need to register these devices; they are already on the Wartburg network.
• Please alert library staff to any issues you encounter with a 6-hour laptop so we can quickly address the issue.

The 6-hour laptops are available at the library circulation desk on the 2nd floor of Vogel Library. You will need your Wartburg ID.
