If available, we'll provide you with a Dell laptop and a carry case, so you can work on assignments and prepare for exams anywhere that suits you. We suggest you install Murdoch recommended apps and tools, including Office365.

This program is supported by the Student Services and Amenities Fee.

Terms and conditions

Loaned laptops must be returned to the Library help desk during library opening hours, on or before the return date, to avoid overdue fines. They must be in the same condition in which they were borrowed.

Failure to return your loaned laptop and/or clear your overdue fines will result in:

  • Suspension of your library borrowing privileges
  • Suspension of your laptop borrowing privileges for the remainder of your studies at Murdoch
  • An encumbrance being placed on your university enrolment.
