YOU MUST READ THESE RULES AND PROCESS:
Hotspots are available at the beginning of each semester through a request form. The form is linked from the Hotspot Lending Program page.
Due to high demand we cannot guarantee a hotspot to everyone who requests one. Hotspots are distributed on a needs-based basis, not first come first serve. Priority will be given to students with limited internet access and those who have difficulty using campus resources.
If a hotspot is available, you will receive notice to your GCC email account and will have 5 days to check it out from the West Circulation desk at the Main Campus library. Hotspots are not available for check out at the North Campus library. If you don't receive a hotspot your name will be placed on a waiting list if additional units become available.
You must submit this form again each semester you wish to check out a hotspot. Hotspots are only available to current GCC students. You must be registered for classes in the semester in which you request a unit. GCC Faculty and Staff may not check out hotspots.
Further information, including use instructions, are available on the Hotspot Lending Program page. Questions can be directed to DL-GC-LMC-HOTSPOTS@gccaz.edu.
Additional resourses and services are available through Student Leadership and the Office of Information Technology (OIT). You may submit a request for Basic Needs support and/or a laptop.
Hotspot use is governed by the MCCCD Administrative Regulation 1.11 policy regarding the use of MCCCD property off premises, and the District Technology Resource Standards and Acceptable Use policies. As an open, unsecured wireless network, “Hotspots” are freely and easily accessible and are unsecure. The Service Provider (Mobile Beacon), Glendale Community College and their officials and employees are not responsible for, and cannot be held responsible for any files, data, confidential or personal information accessed, transmitted, lost or damaged as a result of using the hotspot. The hotspot has no filtering and the borrower is responsible for monitoring what minors may access or view while using the hotspot.
