Equipment Loans through the Disability Resources Department
Equipment Loans are available for SRJC students who have received an equipment referral from their Disability Specialist and who are currently enrolled in classes. Examples of equipment include recording devices, assistive listening devices, magnifiers and more. To learn more, please scroll down for descriptions and instructional videos.
Equipment is available on both the Santa Rosa and Petaluma Campuses starting one week prior to the first day of classes.
Students will receive a message in their student portal or via email starting two weeks prior to the semester start date with information about how to place an equipment loan request via the web, email or phone.
We will confirm availability and email the student to schedule their pick up date, time and location.
If you have not yet received a request form link, please call or email us and we will send that to you via email or we can assist you over the phone.
