Laptop Rental Program

About the Program

In conjunction with the Student Government Association (SGA), Rock Valley College provides a laptop rent program for students who cannot afford to purchase a PC or laptop but need one to be successful in RVC courses. 

Laptops are available from the EAGLE Support office on the second floor of the Educational Resource Center (ERC 2402) on a first come, first served basis. No waitlist is maintained.

About the Laptops

• Laptops are equipped with wireless network cards for use where wireless access exists. For example, wireless networking is available throughout campus.
• All laptops are "bare bones" systems with Internet capability. No productivity software will be installed, but EAGLE Support can assist with loading Office 365.

For assistance, contact EAGLE Support at (815)-921-4646 eaglesupport@rockvalleycollege.edu.
