Chromebook Loaners

Beginning in Fall 2025, the Learn to Earn program allows Saddleback students to check out a Chromebook now, then apply to keep that device forever after minimum criteria are met.

Criteria to earn a Chromebook includes:

  • Device must be checked out and in the Saddleback student’s possession during the entirety of four consecutive semesters.
  • Students must complete the four consecutive semesters at Saddleback College (fall and spring sessions, excluding summer session).
  • The Saddleback student must earn a minimum of 24 units over four consecutive semesters.
  • Saddleback students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

After completing four consecutive semesters, if the Saddleback student has met the minimum criteria, we will notify the student via email after grades are posted to invite them to keep the Chromebook, or they can return it on its due date. This offer is only valid for currently enrolled Saddleback students. Offer is only valid while supplies last.

If the student drops their classes or stops attending Saddleback College, the student can simply return the loaned Chromebook to the Saddleback Library (3rd floor LRC).

NOTE: Saddleback Students is defined as having Saddleback College as the student's official college of record.
