Northeast Alabama Community College (NACC) is the first Community College in Alabama to provide free laptop vending machines, giving students greater access to technology and more flexibility when on campus.
A new âTech It Outâ kiosk is now located in the Student Center at Northeast. Retrieving a laptop from the automated kiosk system is quick and easy. A student agrees to NACCâs Terms and Conditions, swipes their student ID, punches in their code when prompted, and out pops one of the 12 Dell laptops. The kiosk system, made by LaptopsAnytime, has two easy-to-access rows of devices which slide in and out of the slots vertically.

With college costs mounting and student debt remaining a hot topic of conversation, public opinion on four-year colleges has begun to shift, as people contemplate whether they are in fact the only or best option for all students.
