In addition, NJCU has secured some loaner mobile Wi-Fi hotspots for those who do not have access to the Internet.
Note: NJCU students in need of a computer and/or Internet access to complete their coursework can utilize the technology resources available in the Library and Computer Labs in the Professional Studies building, room 103, during the Fall 2020 semester.
If you need assistance in securing a laptop/iPad or mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, please submit a request by (logging into GothicNet) and selecting the “Technology Loaner Request” tile on the landing Student Homepage on GothicNet. Once you have scheduled a pickup on a convenient day and time slot and have agreed to the technology loaner agreement terms and conditions, you will receive a confirmation in your NJCU email with the location of the pickup.
