College of the Desert offers a Laptop Plan for Students, Faculty, and Staff who wish to purchase a laptop reasonably. The two laptop options include: a Chromebook for $322.17 or an HP laptop for $537.67. (Prices include sales tax and a one-year manufacturer's warranty. Shipping is free.)
Students can enroll in our Student Laptop Plan by signing up with one of the following options.
Please read the details of each option and select the option that is most appropriate for you.
Students should select this option if you wish to have your excess financial aid disbursement pay for the laptop. Please note if there are changes to your financial aid package, you will still be responsible for the laptop fees.
Select this option to pay in full or pay off the balance by the end of the semester in increments that meet your budget.
