What is our commitment?

• Loaner computers¹ are available only for students with Miami Notebooks². We now accept cash, credit, payroll deduction, as well as MUlaa
• Repair turnaround times average 3-5 business days,³ although turn-around time can vary depending on time of the semester. Particularly busy times are the beginning or end of a semester as well as immediately prior to and following holiday weekends/breaks

¹Availability of a loaner computer is not guaranteed. In rare instances, loaner demand may exceed the supply. To help avoid this situation, please consider having your laptop serviced at the time that the problem occurs; do not wait until the beginning or end of the semester, as this introduces a longer wait for repairs and, in some cases, a loaner may not be readily available.

²Please see MiamiOH.edu/MiamiNotebook for more information
