Students are encouraged to individually secure the necessary technology required to support their academic program requirements. Here is information on awards, scholarships, and bursaries.
Laptops are available to any currently enrolled Georgian College student at any campus (Barrie, Orillia, Owen Sound, Midland, South Georgian Bay, Orangeville, Muskoka). Students must be in an academic semester taking courses and living in Ontario. Students may only loan a laptop for one academic semester (fall or winter or summer) within the academic year. Laptops are not available to students who are in a work term. Georgian is trying to help students without technology access, while all courses are being delivered online. Georgian cannot guarantee that all requests will be filled. Limited quantities are available.
You will need your:
Hardware – standard PC laptop with power supply
Software – Standard factory installed software. Use Georgian’s Student Portal to access standard MS Office applications. Use AppsAnywhere to access specific program and course software.
Support is available 24/7 by our Information Technology (IT) Support. All hardware and software questions should be sent to ITSupport@georgiancollege.ca or call 705.728.1968 ext. 1732 or toll free 1.877.374.3224
You are encouraged to store all files in OneDrive, available through the Student Portal. Minimize any personal information stored on the laptop and remove it before returning the laptop.
First, make sure you have copies of any data or files stored on the laptop. Delete any files you have created from the laptop.
