Reservations

A support ticket is required for all reservations. Equipment can only be checked in or out when a staff member is present. Reservations and checkouts are only available during staff hours in Room 602:

    Mon, Wed, Fri: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
    Mon–Fri: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
    Saturday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 AM

Loan Periods

Standard loan period is 3 days (weekends and holidays each count as one day). Extended loans are available only during academic breaks with prior approval. Consecutive renewals are not permitted in order to maintain fairness. Equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Borrowing Limits

Only one item per equipment category (e.g., one laptop, one camera) may be checked out at a time. The person checking out the equipment is personally responsible for it until it is returned.

Returns

All items must be returned by the due date or by 9:00 AM the following day to avoid late fees. Late returns incur a $20 per day fee per item. Items may be returned to the dropbox or lockers only if they fit; oversized items must be returned to a staff member during staffed hours. To be considered “Returned,” all equipment and all accessories must be included.

Damage, Loss, & Responsibility

Borrowers are fully responsible for the replacement cost of lost or stolen items. Borrowers are responsible for repair costs of damaged equipment; if repair is not possible, the full replacement cost will apply. Checked-out equipment may not be loaned to others.

Special Items

Drones are available to faculty only. Students may request a faculty member to check out a drone on their behalf. The borrower is responsible for any damage or liabilities related to drone use.
