Specialized Equipment Loan

Students can borrow specialized equipment essential to access course requirements. Since loans are made for a temporary period, students are encouraged to purchase their own equipment when possible.

The following specialized equipment is available:

• digitaltape recorders
• Daisy players
• portable closed circuit print enlargers
• assistive listening devices
• manual wheelchair
• talking calculator

The state of California has a program to loan BrailleNote equipment which De Anza can participate in on an as needed basis. See your DSS counselor.

Steps to follow to borrow equipment:

1. See your counselor/advisor.
2. Sign an Equipment Loan form.

Policy

• Policies for borrowing equipment vary depending on the type of equipment borrowed.
• The Loan form will specify the return date and the policies for borrowing equipment.
• If a student fails to follow the policies future borrowing maybe affected or college records held.
• You may be asked to replace damaged or lost equipment.
