Digital Learning Program

The Digital Learning Program at Minneapolis College

The Digital Learning Program was a program that started in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. Its purpose was to equip students with the technology to help them achieve success while taking classes at Minneapolis College. The Digital Learning program offered a fully configured and supported checkout Windows laptop and free internet resource to those who qualify. 

Due to lack of inventory and ongoing funding, the Digital Learning program was discontinued for new applicants as of Spring Semester 2023.  Students with current checkout equipment can be renewed for additional semesters while they meet eligibility requirements.  All internet service programs were terminated at the end of Spring 2023

Please visit these external resources that provide options for inexpensive/discounted laptops and internet for those who qualify:
