Meeting Our Students Technology Needs
St. Petersburg College is dedicated to supporting your academic success through our Laptop Lending Program, available to students across Pinellas County. Currently enrolled students may request a laptop equipped with a webcam for use in completing SPC coursework. This program is designed for students who do not have access to a reliable computer for their studies.
Students must be able to pick up the equipment at one of our campus locations, as laptops cannot be shipped outside the local area.
Please be aware that laptop inventory is limited, and approval is not guaranteed. Requests are reviewed and fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies remain available.
To apply, review the eligibility requirements and submit a Laptop Lending Program request at technologytracker.spcollege.edu. If your request is approved and equipment is available, you will receive information regarding your request status and designated pickup location. Be sure to check your SPC student email regularly for updates and important notifications.
- Pick up is by appointment only and must be done at an SPC campus.
- Students must not have access to a personal computer.

- ALL Laptops are due for yearly updates at the end of each Spring term. The updates are
completed by our Technical Support Staff and can take up to 7 business days to process the
necessary updates. Even if you are enrolled in Summer courses, the update must be done. - You must maintain continuous enrollment. If you withdraw from classes, all equipment must be returned immediately. If equipment is not returned, your academic records will be placed on hold which will prevent future enrollment and receipt of official transcripts.
- If equipment is lost, stolen, damaged, etc., it is your responsibility to REPLACE the equipment. If the equipment is not replaced, your academic records will be placed on hold, which will prevent future enrollment and receipt of official transcripts. You will also be ineligible from borrowing equipment from the program in the future.
- The Technology Lending program term will not be considered completed until ALL borrowed equipment is returned in working condition (including charger) and the Laptop Borrowing Agreement is completed by an authorized SPC staff member.
