Loan to Own Computer Program
The Loan-to-Own Computer program was approved by the Board of Trustees as one means of encouraging faculty and staff to increase their understanding of how computers can enhance the educational environment of the District and was developed by the District Instructional Technology Council (DITC) working with the Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and the college bookstores. It is designed to support the District’s interest in expanding the use of personal computers as part of the educational experience for students.
Eligible participants may purchase a computer and related peripherals from the college bookstore with an interest free-loan that can be paid back via monthly payroll deduction over a two- or three-year period, depending on the amount of the loan.

- Contract faculty who have been employed in the District for a minimum of one (1) semester
