How Do I Return or Renew My Technology Device (laptop, hotspot, iPad)? 

If you are already registered for the summer 2022 session, you MAY be able to renew your item(s) online by following these steps below.

Please note, if you have just registered within the past 24 hours or if you have renewed or tried to renew once already, you may experience difficulties renewing online, please contact us (https://www.pima.edu/academics-programs/academic-support/library/contact-us.html) and we can usually take care of the issue quickly and easily.

Also, note that there is a grace period after the due date before any actions are taken, we can help with late renewals and late returns, no problem!

If you are not registered for Summer 2022 you will need to return your laptop or hotspot. You can always request a device in the summer before Fall 2022 starts.
