• ATLAS Implements New ATLAS Share Program

  Oct 1, 2019 9:00 am |  9  Views

  Technology has become an important part of today's classroom and learning environment.  24/7 access to computer technology can play a part in student classroom success. To help ensure every LAS student has access to a base level of technology ATLAS has set aside a limited number of loaner computers that may be checked out to LAS students.

  ATLAS Share is an initiative to provide long term loaner computers to LAS students who do not have their own computer.  Computers will be network ready and come with campus licensed software and virus protection as well as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  Students with ATLAS Share computers will have access to the ATLAS Help Desk should hardware support be needed during the life of the loan.  Computers and all accompanying equipment will be due to ATLAS at the end of the loan period.

  Follow this link to apply for an ATLAS Share computer!
