Laptop Check out Kiosk: ITS is piloting a laptop checkout kiosk in Meredith Hall. Borrow one of 14 Macbook Pro laptops for up to four hours for free.

OneDrive: As part of our campus Office365 subscription, students can now store up to 1 terabyte of data in OneDrive, a cloud storage solution similar to Dropbox or Google Drive. You can share files, as well as collaboratively edit documents using the web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The OneDrive client comes standard on Windows 10 computers and can be downloaded from the Mac app store. Clients are also available for iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices.
