Extending the Laptop loans service for students from lower income backgrounds

24 September 2020

This year as well as our standard laptop loans available in UCL libraries we have extended the service for specific categories of students. If you are a UK/EU undergraduate student from a low income household you can apply for a laptop loan for your entire period of study.

UK and EU undergraduate students who have a household income below £25,000 per year can apply to borrow a laptop from the university for the entire duration of their programme of study.
 
To apply for a long term laptop loan students should complete the Student Laptop Loan Request Form.
 
Your household income details will be checked by UCL after you have submitted the form. UCL uses the household income figure provided by your Regional Funding Authority (e.g. Student Finance England). Therefore, you must have applied for a household income assessment (even if you are not receiving a maintenance loan) before applying for a UCL long term laptop loan.

Once eligibility has been confirmed, ISD will arrange for the delivery of the laptop.

Students who do not qualify for the long-term loan may be eligible for a shorter term loan service - you can check the ISD website for full eligibility criteria and how to apply.
