What You Need

  • Student ID/PIN combo, or UCLA Logon/password combo. You'll need to verify this information to check out a laptop.


Time Limit
You are allowed four hours. A/C power adapters are included. Battery life will diminish within a few hours.

You can now renew your laptop online without returning to the checkout desk as long as no one else is waiting to use it. Watch your battery life though!

NOTE: You cannot renew your laptop online if your new due time (based on the renewal) is past the Closing Time. For example, You want to renew at 6:01 PM but Laptop check out closes at 10:00 PM. So, if you wanted to renew the laptop, you would have to bring it back to the laptop pod that you checked it out from to have the time extended until closing time. Make sure you bring it back before closing, or you will be fined.


Renewals
Renew online at my.clicc.ucla.edu. This site will show you when your particular laptop is due. Remember, renewal is not guaranteed! Here's the renewal rules:

  • You can only renew within the last 1 hour of your checkout session. (Why? Because when laptops get in high demand, people used to get sneaky about renewing before it got too busy so that they could keep the laptop longer. By renewing in the last 1 hour, we can ensure that other people get a chance to use the laptop as well.)
  • You cannot renew if people are waiting to use the laptops.
  • If you renew in person, bring back the laptop carrying bag and everything else with the laptop. If you only bring back the laptop, the consultant will send you back to get the bag and all the accessories. (Why? We don't want the stuff to be unattended and get stolen, and also if you bring the laptop back to renew and there's a line, you'd need to check in the laptop... with the bag and everything anyway.)
  • You cannot renew if the laptop is late - you must bring it back to the lending desk.
  • You cannot renew online within 4 hours of closing time, but you can bring it back to the desk to renew. Just make sure that you keep track of when closing time is -- the late fine for returning a laptop past closing is $50 an hour! (Why? So we can tell/remind you when closing time is so that you don't get too far away.)

Checking In
When you bring the laptop back, we check things out to make sure everything is in good working order, then we sign it back in. Note: The hard drive is reformatted regularly. Be sure to save your work via e-mail attachment or USB memory key before checking the laptop back in.

How to Log on ...
To the internet:
Plug in the ethernet cable first before turning on the laptop. After the laptop has booted, open a web browser and it will automatically open to the login web page. Enter your UCLA Logon ID and password. You will get a "Login Successful" message and will then be redirected to your webpage.

To other servers or to print:
First follow the above instructions to access the internet. You will then need to launch and login with the Authentication Client to access the Humanities or Social Sciences server or to print to a CLICC printer. Thus, you need to login twice.

Note: If the network connection is inactive for more than ten minutes, the system will disconnect you. The browser will prompt you to enter in your UCLA Logonand password again to reconnect to the network.
