Free access to computers and printing at CAS locations, with occasional digital support help on site.
Laptop check-out available for student academic use in CAS spaces.

Any currently enrolled Butte College student may check in to use computers for school assignments, Canvas coursework, and internet research. Accessing nonacademic social media, online shopping, games, or pornographic material is not allowed on CAS computers.
