DISCOVERe Mobile Technology Program
DISCOVERe Device Loaner Program
For Students:
-
DISCOVERe iPads will be loaned to students who are enrolled in a DISCOVERe-tagged course for the current semester. Visit the FAQ to learn how to identify participating courses during registration.
-
Any surplus of mobile devices will require a student application and will be distributed based on specific criteria and will be due to be returned at the end of the semester.
-
A student may request a hotspot for use during the current semester if they are taking nine (9) or more units online at Fresno State.
For Faculty/Staff:
-
Priority for loaner iPads or Surface Gos will be given to employees who are not part of the faculty laptop program and/or have not checked out a laptop from the library tech lending program.
-
All employees currently have access to on-campus Wi-Fi and are typically not eligible for a hotspot.
Device Checkout Process
- If you are enrolled in at least one DISCOVERe-tagged course, fill out the Tablet Request form or Hotspot Request form
- Once you are approved, you will receive an email with a link to schedule a device checkout appointment. Device checkout requires a scheduled appointment; no walk-in device checkout requests will be processed.

Returns
Returns will be at the DISCOVERe Hub (located on the first floor of the Fresno State Library). Please bring the device(s), any accessories, and your student ID to complete a successful return.
Device return can be completed by scheduled appointment or walk-in.
