The Loaner/Donor Computer Program

Computer Loaner Program

The Loaner Computer program is designed to help students who are in need of a desktop computer during the semester. Loaner computers can be checked out at anytime during the semester. Paperwork must be renewed each semester. Students are able to borrow a system on a semester-by-semester basis to help with their classes. Temple College currently has more than 800 computers loaned out to students.

• All computers have Windows XP, an office suite, and antivirus software installed on them.
• The computers remain the property of Temple College and must be returned to the College in essentially the same condition as when signed for.
• An administrative hold will be placed on your academic record for non-returned systems. Lost/non-returned/damaged systems are valued at $200.
• The system is being provided primarily for student school work and will not be used in any manner which would be illegal, unethical, immoral, or reflect badly on the College or the student.

Computer Donor Program
Refurbishing and Redistribution

Temple College has undertaken a project to refurbish and redistribute donated PC computers back into the community. Our first concern is to make sure all hard drives have all data removed. We use a program to totally erase data on the hard drives. As a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, we are able to obtain Windows operating systems at minimal cost which we then load on the systems that go back out into the community through various non-profit organizations. The Temple-Belton Central Texas Housing Consortium has received over 200 systems, helping their clients with computer training and using the systems to improve their lives. Other systems have gone to church groups, and other various organizations including several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers.

Some systems have been given to organizations outside the United States. These systems were loaded with a different operating system, called Ubuntu, a free open source Linux system.
