Borrowing a Laptop
The fastest way to borrow a laptop is to visit our office during our opening hours,
which are between 9h00 and 17h00 from Monday to Friday.
If none are available at the time of your visit, you will be added
to a queue to borrow at the soonest availability.
You can also request a laptop over email at ctf.science@mail.mcgill.ca;
we generally respond within 24 hours, excluding weekends.
Laptops are distributed on a first-come-first-served basis.
Loan Duration
Laptops can be borrowed for one week at a time, with the possibility to renew as needed.
