The following section of the WCL Honor Code is applicable to laptop checkouts:

Academic violations include familiar matters such as cheating on exams, plagarism, and interfering with the "broadest possible access to library resources.

As the loaner laptops are library rsources, keeping them past the due date is considered "interfering with the 'broadest possible access to library resources'," and is therefore a violation of the Honor Code.
