Retired Inventory Program
Learn how you can own retired technology from SET-BC’s loan bank.
Overview
SET-BC retires older technologies that were once part of the provincial loan bank but are no longer going to be loaned out for student or classroom use. While these old technologies still retain some value, they have likely been replaced by newer versions in the loan bank. The technologies available through the Retired Inventory Program change throughout the year and District Partners are encouraged to check this area regularly to identify items they wish to request.
Catalogue
We encourage all district partners to browse through our technology catalogue and explore our inventory to find tools that suit the needs of your classroom. Requests for equipment can only be made by district partners at loanbank@setbc.org or by filling out the request form below.
Important Information
- Please note: RIP equipment list is ONLY available to SET-BC District Partners. If you are a district specialist wanting to access the list, you must coordinate this request through your District Partner.
- Equipment obtained through the SET-BC Retired Inventory Equipment program will be transferred to the District Specialist’s school district.
- The transferred equipment is for school district use and must not be sold.
- The equipment has been checked to ensure it is in working order but is transferred “as is” and may be missing parts or contain unserviceable items (e.g. manuals, adapters, cables, batteries, etc).
- SET-BC is transferring stewardship of Retired Inventory Equipment to the school district. This means that SET-BC will no longer provide any service to the equipment. Future repair, support, or disposal of the equipment is the responsibility of the school district.
- Some equipment (e.g. AAC device) may be running outdated operating systems (e.g. Windows XP). Equipment recipients are strongly encouraged to discuss the use of such systems with their district IT department to ensure compliance with district IT policy.
