Responsibility

  1. You are fully responsible for damage or loss of any and all equipment checked out to you.

Check-out Procedure

  1. Allow yourself 5 minutes per item to look over and inspect each item you are checking out. If you are checking out 4 separate items allow yourself 20 minutes to checkout your item.

  2. You should always inspect all equipment before accepting it.

    - You will get a printout detailing the equipment you are checking-out, the parts and accessories that accompany the
    equipment and any condition notes on the equipment.
    - Compare that print-out with the equipment you receive to be certain that no unmentioned items are missing or
    damaged.
    - Have the attendant note any discrepancies. Do not write them in yourself.
    - Before signing the sheet you should read the check-out form, noting your responsibilities for the equipment, and then
    sign the form.
    - Return the form to the desk attendant.
    - Upon return of the equipment, the attendant will inspect the equipment for any problems, missing items, or new
    damage.
    - If any items are missing or damaged, your check-out privileges will be suspended until the missing items are returned,
    or until replacement or repair costs can be determined and paid.

Penalties:

  1. Equipment returned 1 minute late or later will incur a $5 per day penalty.
    - Upon a student’s 3rd Late fine/offense in one semester the student will lose complete Equipment room privileges.
    - If you know or strongly suspect you are going to be late, please contact the Equipment Room. This may remove your penalty, and will help us get together alternative equipment for the next scheduled user.

2. You must bring back all equipment and pay all equipment room fines by the end of the semester. If you fail to do so, you will not be able to receive grades or register until you have returned your equipment.

Reservations – In person or online

  1. You are strongly encouraged to reserve your equipment in advance. Students with reservations will be served before those without reservations.

  2. Online Reservations must be made 3 hours in advance.

  4. If a student habitually reserves equipment and does not pick it up the student will lose online privileges.

  5. You cannot make more than one reservation at a time.

Renewal by Telephone – There are no online renewals.

  1. When the equipment checked out is not reserved by someone else, its check-out may be renewed by calling the equipment room between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM of the Due date. Then it becomes due at the due time for the next normal check-out period, just as if the equipment were returned and checked out again. You cannot renew online.

  2. You must be prepared to return the equipment if it is reserved. Do not ask to have the other person’s reservation moved to a different piece of equipment.

  3. Failure to return equipment when due incurs the usual suspension.

  4. Do not attempt to renew your check-out by voice-mail. You must call during regular hours and deal with an actual equipment room employee.

  5. Students are allowed to renew as many times as they want as long as there are no reservations on the equipment.
