Technology Loan Program
Students currently enrolled in at least one (1) 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.
Unfortunately, SMCCD does not provide technology loans for community members but check with your local public library if you have technology needs.

Step 5: Return technology by end of semester
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.
Spring 2024
Technology loans will begin the first day of the Spring 2024 semester which is January 16, 2024.
Technology continues to be in high demand as it is a shared student resource. If you have questions about the current inventory available, please email the library staff directly at canlibrary@smccd.edu. Please include your name and G-number when contacting us.
Technology Waitlist
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.
