Technology Help Desk Hardware Loan Agreement

Staff/Faculty Computer/Device Loan Agreement

As a borrower of an MHC device through the Technology Help Desk Computer Loan Program, I have read and acknowledged the following expectations and understand that I am responsible to:

• Keep the device in good condition;
• Use the device according to the Acceptable Use Policy;
• Follow the Hybrid and remote work best security practices;
• Not loan or transfer the device to anyone else and return it only to the LITS Technology Help Desk;
• Back up any needed data off the computer before return (see Data Handling Policy);
• Return the device when asked by LITS, or at the end of the loan period or extended loan period.

The standard loan period is two weeks, and I can request an extension of the loan period for as long as the need exists by contacting the LITS Technology Help Desk.

If I resign or retire before the end of the loan period, the devices will be returned to Human Resources or directly to LITS. Failure to return the device in these circumstances will result in the device being locked and further actions taken to secure the return of the loan computer.

If I fail to return the device at the end of the loan period, I may not be eligible for a new computer under the computer replacement policy, and LITS may take additional action to secure the return of the loan computer.
