Dear all, Despite trawling through dis-forum archives I have not found anything that covers my next query. We are looking at policies on loaning out computer and other assistive technology to international students. Using our International Students Fund to purchase equipment is one thing, insuring it another. Having revisited discussions on the topic of such policies for students ineligible for the DSA it became obvious that some institutions (Sheffield by 1999, for example) had worked out methods for monitoring, repairing, and insuring such equipment. At that time, however, no one mentioned international warranties and insurance (for example for laptops and MiniDisc recorders that the student may take home over holidays). We would appreciate any useful suggestions that any of you can offer us .
