Harper College is closed on Friday, April 18, for Reading Day.
The Harper College Library's Semester Loan Technology Program provides students access to technology they may need to be successful in their classes. Chromebooks, graphing calculators, and Wi-Fi hotspots are available to borrow for free for semester-long rental. Technology is available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Scroll down to learn more about each item, how you can borrow technology today, and our frequently-asked questions. Once you have what you need, you can reference the user guides and video tutorials below to help you get started.
