Chromebook Loaner Request Process

Chromebook Loaner Request Process for SMC Students

1. Students requesting a loaner Chromebook should contact a faculty person, counselor, or special programs’ staff person. Students should not go directly to the bookstore.

2. The faculty, counselor, or special program staff person needs to input the student's loaner Chromebook request into the SMC Gateway to Persistence and Success (GPS).
   
   Go to the GPS website and log in using the same information you use to log into your email, WebISIS, etc.

   Toward the top-right of the screen, you will see a "Search for Students" box. You can either enter the student's name, or "s" followed by the student's ID number. For instance, if you were looking for our sample student, Aaron AA, by student ID number (ID #1), you would type in "S1". Then, click on the student's name.

   Once you click on the student's name, you will see a pop-up with more information about the student. Under the student's name, click the button that says "Referral".

   A new box will pop up. Select "Student needs help with a Loaner Chromebook"; type in a brief comment ("Student needs a Chromebook" is sufficient), and then click "Save."

   The student has been referred and you will receive an email once the student has been approved.

3. The student will receive a link so that they can fill out their information and sign the loaner Chromebook’s equipment agreement contract.

4. Once approved, Campus Store Staff will send the student an email to pick up the Items during days and hours specified in the email. Returning the item will be discussed at this time.
