Fall Semester

Borrowing or Renewing Laptops and Hotspots
The library has a limited number of wifi hotspots and laptops to check out, on a first come, first served basis. All laptops and wifi hotspots will be checked out for the entire fall semester. Students that have laptops or hot spots checked out for the Spring 2021 semester who are not taking classes in Summer 2021 but are enrolled for Fall 2021, can renew their laptops or hot spots (with verification of Fall 2021 enrollment of at least one course) until January 3, 2022. For more information, please see the laptop/hotspot FAQ, or contact the Learning Commons at (510) 885-4152 or techelp@csueastbay.edu.

The Learning Commons is located in the Library Lower Mall and features individual and collaborative study space, PC computing, peer assistance at the Student Help Desk, and Assistive Technology software and machines. There are 83 desktop computers in the Learning Commons including five workstations with Assistive Technologies, a closed-circuit television (CCTV), and Sorenson Video Relay Service. Services are limited to registered students, staff, faculty and alumni.
