Promise Chromebook Project

New initiative to give current Promise students a free Chromebook to achieve success.

SMC Promise Chromebook Project 2022-2023

As of November 10th, 2022 we no longer have any more Chromebooks to distribute. Please check back at the end of March 2023 for updates. If you have previously received an SMC Promise email with a four digit confirmation number, please pick up your SMC Promise Chromebook from the SMC Bookstore. Follow the instructions contained within that email.

If you are in need of a laptop, you may request a loaner from the SMC Bookstore by following these steps:

Speak with a professor, faculty, counselor or staff to inform them that you need a laptop for your schoolwork. They will need to email your name and SMC ID number to the Bookstore@smc.edu stating that you are in need of a loaner laptop.
After you confirm that the professor, faculty, counselor or staff has sent the email to the SMC Bookstore, you will need to contact bookstore directly to inquire on how to pickup your loaner laptop.
