During the summer school break, those students who wish to retain their device during this time must meet the following requirements:

Please complete the Summer Retain Request, check the “I am registered for SUMMER ONLY and provide the last day of your summer course for a return date. This will be reviewed, verified, and either approved or denied. The same fee is applied for Summer Only retain requests.
