Technology Support & Equipment Requests

爆料社区 continues to provide loaner technology of laptops and other IT hardware to those who require that technology to learn in a virtual environment.  While 爆料社区 strives to provide technology to students and faculty/staff in need, given fiscal and resource constraints, indicating a need does not guarantee you will receive the item. 
Patrons must present their 爆料社区 ID or digital ID (爆料社区 app) upon the time of checkout. 

Submit the form below if you:
  • Temporarily need technology equipment for a designated amount of time.
  • Are getting your current issued device repaired by the Help Desk (faculty/staff).

Note: Since students are now on Microsoft Outlook and not on Gmail, use  username@csusm.edu to log in the form, NOT username@cougars.csusm.edu

Not for Telecommuting Equipment
If you are a permanent staff and need telecommuting equipment - please submit a request for permanently issued telecommuting technology through our Technology Refresh Program.

    I understand I am required to display my valid 爆料社区 identification in order to check out equipment and that this equipment is only issued to enrolled 爆料社区 students, faculty or staff. I further understand that I am not allowed to check out equipment if I have any overdue item(s) or fine(s).  I also understand that any communications between the campus and the borrower will be through my official student, staff or faculty email account (i.e., myusername@cougars.csusm.edu or stafforfacultyname@csusm.edu).

    Late fees accrue at $2 per hour, per item, for all media equipment and $10 per hour for laptops.

    I assume full responsibility and financial liability for all the equipment and accessories borrowed during the time it is checked out to me.

    • I understand that I will return the device in the same condition in which I received it.  If it is not returned in the same condition, I agree to reimburse Cal State San Marcos for the loss of, or damage to, any equipment checked out to me.  Charges will include replacement or repair costs and shipping costs.  I understand a hold will be placed on my records, barring me from registering or receiving a transcript, until I fully reimburse the University for any loss or damage.
    • I acknowledge that when I return the equipment, a staff member will verify all parts are present and that the equipment is in good working order.  I will be required to remain with the staff member until this check-in is completed. During the check-in process, I may request a receipt, acknowledging the return of the equipment.

    • I understand I can appeal a fine within 30 days of the due date by using the Equipment Checkout Appeal Form.
