The Library has granted a courtesy extension for the due date for library laptops to 7/6/20. This is to allow for extra time for students to return library laptops. Students can contact the library about laptops by emailing service@sfsu.edu or calling 415-338-1420. If a student is enrolled for Summer 2020 classes, they can requisition a due date extension for Summer. If a student is not enrolled for Summer 2020, they can request the library to send a prepaid shipping box to return the laptop.
