Eligible eStout students entering Stout during either the Fall or Spring semester will receive information via e-mail about laptop distribution dates and times. More information can be found on the eStout site.
Eligible eStout students entering Stout during WinTerm or Summer Term will receive information via e-mail. Summer and WinTerm deployment takes place at the Technology Help Desk, 109 Sorensen Hall beginning the first day of WinTerm or Pre-summer session between 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Appointments are not always necessary, but details will be included in the informational e-mail.
At the time of pickup, students will be asked to sign the eStout Student Laptop Computer Agreement. The student agrees to take reasonable care of the computer and to bear the risk of damage until it is returned to the University. If the computer is found to be damaged during inspection by a University authorized repair technician, the University may charge the student for that damage. The student is also responsible for the full replacement cost of any lost, damaged or missing accessories. No accessories may be returned after the laptop is turned in. All charges will be added to the student's University account.
In the event that the computer is not returned within stated time frame, the University may place a hold on the student's university record, bill them for the replacement cost of the computer and/or a $400 fee, or file a loss claim with the University's insurance company which would initiate repossession or police investigative action.
