If you don’t have a laptop at the moment to participate in digital teaching or online exams, you can borrow a laptop from us for free and without a deposit. The CLS has provided us with these laptops. The laptops are not very powerful, but they are sufficient for e.g. online exams.
The maximum rental period is 4 weeks. A second loan is not possible afterwards
You have to book an appointment to lend a laptop. https://booking.asta.rwth-aachen.de/asta-rental/laptop/
Please bring your BlueCard and ID card with you when you pick it up.
If you have any questions, please send an email to:
laptop@asta.rwth-aachen.de
You can return the laptop to the AStA during our opening hours (Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm).
The limitation of the loan period and the restriction to one loan exist because the computers are intended for students to bridge an emergency situation. For example, if we lend a computer to one person for 2 months during the examination phase, we would not be able to help 3-5 people in need. We ask for your understanding for this consideration.
If you have financial difficulties and cannot afford to buy or repair a laptop, it may be helpful to apply for a social loan. You can find more information here: Application | AStA der RWTH Aachen (rwth-aachen.de)
