Student Technology Service Loan Application Form

Apply to borrow a laptop or Internet modem

Thank you for your interest in our Student Technology Service, which loans laptops and Internet modems to eligible Ontario residents so they can do their studies online.

Our supply of loaner laptops and Internet modems is limited. We will review your application to confirm if you are eligible. If we can’t ship the equipment immediately, you will be placed on a wait list and notified as soon as it is available.

Please note that Internet access is limited to 50GB of data per month.

  • If you exceed the 50GB limit in any month during the loan period, your modem will be disabled and must be returned immediately. If you have borrowed a laptop, it will also be disabled and must be returned.
  • You will be notified when your Internet use exceeds 40GB in a month.
