International Travel Loaner Program
International Travel Loaner Program
Travel is often part of the job for faculty, researchers, and collaborators. Taking your laptop or mobile device when you travel, however, significantly increases the possibility of data and identity theft. If you are traveling to a high-risk country, a free travel loaner system will make travel easy while helping secure your data.
The Travel Loaner program ensures that faculty and staff will have the applications and information they need while minimizing the amount of sensitive data that is carried abroad.
Note: This service is provided free-of-charge, however, you and your department are responsible for any damage or loss, including cables and peripherals.
Get Started
If you are traveling to a high-risk country, request a free Travel Loaner kit at least one week before traveling by emailing chromebook@uccs.edu. A University OIT consultant will meet with you to determine which hardware, apps, and accessories you'll need, install the required apps, and provide any necessary training. Upon your return, the consultant will arrange a time to pick up the kit.
The fine print
- Any plans to travel on behalf of UCCS to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria must be reviewed and approved by the Export Control Officer. Proof of approval is required before being able to take advantage of the Travel Loaner program. See the Policy Notes on Export Control / Trade Sanctions Compliance Requirements and Here for more information.
- All loaned equipment, including associated peripherals and initially installed software, is the property of UCCS OIT. You and your department are responsible for any damage or loss while the equipment is in your possession.
- For security reasons, the system will be erased when it is returned to UCCS OIT; you are responsible for transferring all your data to your own computer or storage device before the system is erased. Note: Data is not backed up. UCCS IT is not responsible for lost data.
- The maximum loan period is three months. If equipment is not returned as specified, UCCS IT reserves the right to charge your departmental speedtype until the equipment is returned.
