Announcements - Research, Citation, & Class Guides at University of Wisconsin Whitewater

You CAN renew some laptops that are in lost status. This can make a positive impact on a student and relieve some stress. Please remember to review the steps for renewing laptops in Lost status: The presence or absence of a fulfilment note (and the info in the note) determines whether staff can renew a "lost" laptop for a student. It is not (just) dependent on the time since the item was marked lost.
