If your program expects you to return your laptop at the end of your education, you may be responsible for paying the costs to replace or repair it. If you are allowed to keep the laptop after college, you will likely not be responsible for a replacement. \r That being said, the policies of these programs vary on a case-by-case basis. Especially if you have evidence of theft, such as a police report, there is a better chance that your program will not make you pay the cost of the computer.
