Students are responsible for the usage and care of their computer, and there are rules and policies that govern their usage.  The University has a comprehensive Computer Usage Policy that can be reviewed in the Student Handbook. Students are also bound by the terms and conditions of the license agreements for the software that they use. We hope that you will use the laptop in all aspects of your university life.  Commercial use of the equipment and/or the software violates our legal agreements and is prohibited.

Each student is responsible for any loss, damage or theft of the computer up to $1,000.00 for the first incident.  In the instance of severe abuse or negligence or a second incident, the student is responsible for the cost of the entire repair or replacement, as determined by the Assistant/Associate Dean and the Laptop Program Manager.  The computer must be kept in full working condition and, if necessary, only be repaired through the Villanova University repair program.

In the event of a theft off campus the student is required to file a local police report, and contact Villanova University's Public Safety Office at 610-519-6979. If the theft occurs on campus, contact Villanova University's Public Safety Office. Villanova University's Public Safety Office will contact the Laptop Program Manager to prepare a replacement laptop.

At the end of your sophomore year immediately after final exams, you will be required to return the laptop.  Failure to return the laptop will result in a tuition charge for the residual value of the computer.
