Laptop Share Kiosks

Laptop Share Kiosks are self-service stations that allow students to borrow a university laptop for up to four hours. Kiosks are conveniently located across Main Campus, Ambler, and Center City, and laptops can be returned to any kiosk with an available slot. These laptops come preloaded with essential academic software and are automatically reset after each use to protect user privacy.

This service is available to all current Temple University students. Borrowers must agree to the kiosk system’s terms and conditions prior to checkout and are responsible for the care and timely return of the device. Departments requesting a kiosk are responsible for related infrastructure and ongoing costs.

Visit any Laptop Share Kiosk and log in with your Temple credentials to check out a laptop. You can borrow one device at a time for a maximum of four hours. Laptops can be returned to any kiosk on campus with an open bay. Devices are wiped automatically upon return using Deep Freeze technology to remove personal data. Installed software includes Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Acrobat, SPSS, SAS, Audacity, and standard web browsers.

• Borrowing a laptop is free of charge, but fines may apply if the device is returned late.
• Departments requesting kiosks are responsible for their purchase, annual maintenance, network and power needs, and any special software licenses.
• ITS is not responsible for lost documents or damage to personal devices connected to the laptops.
• All users must return laptops within four hours to avoid a fee, payable at the One Stop Assistance Desk in Charles Library.
