Technology continues to bridge on-campus and remote teaching and learning.
As Sacramento State continues to emerge from COVID-19 closures, campus is hosting a variety of simultaneous teaching and learning modalities: in-person, hybrid, and some still fully remote. However you’re planning to deliver instruction, we’ve rounded up the essential technology resources, links, and support to help you transition confidently.
Essentials for Spring 2022

Laptop & Equipment Checkout
Whether you're on campus using your own device (BYOD), are using a department-issued University-managed device, or have a long-term loan through the Laptop Checkout program, the Laptop & Equipment Checkout Program will continue to be a resource for you.
Device Checkout Guidelines
- No longer need the device(s)? Please return whatever is unneeded to either your department or to the IRT Service Desk Team at your soonest convenience to help create opportunities for our campus community.
- Still need it? If you continue to need a checked out device or equipment for any remote teaching purposes, please arrange for longer checkout.
- Need new/different equipment? You can request equipment - such as a webcam, internet hotspot (for a limited time), and headphones - which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Internet Connection Options
On campus, your devices should automatically recognize and connect to eduroam, our official campus internet. If you have new devices - or just new to being on campus - our campus wireless section covers device-specific connection instructions.
In addition to on-campus options, the campus closure necessitated additional options for supporting remote operations. Whether on-campus or working remotely, learn more about off-campus alternatives.
