The University has a limited number of mobile computing devices available for loan to students in need. The loan devices will be charged to fee accounts. The charges will be reversed if the device is returned in good working order at the end of the academic year. 足球竞彩app排名s who require a device should urgently apply by emailing tshepiso.maleswena@wits.ac.za.
Who may apply for a loan device?
- 足球竞彩app排名s registered for a full-time degree in 2020;
- NSFAS funded and “missing middle” students with a family income of less than R600 000 annually. Bursary/scholarship funded students who have not received devices from their funders. (Please note that all information supplied will be verified); and
- 足球竞彩app排名s who do not have their own device, or who do not have access to a device.
Due to the challenges with delivery, regrettably only students residing within the borders of South Africa are eligible for this assistance.
Devices will be allocated in the following order of priority: final year undergraduate students, first year students, other undergraduate students and then postgraduate students.
Conditions
Devices will be made available on a case by case basis, and decisions are made on the basis of the information available and/or provided. In addition:
- All devices must be returned by the end of the 2020 academic year. Where devices are not returned, students will be charged for the full cost of the device;

- Wits takes no responsibility for maintenance or the insurance of the device.
