Things to Remember When Borrowing Equipment

Summary

Things to know about our equipment and processes

Our checkout system requires that we check out your items when you pick them up. Please give yourself a few minutes for the checkout process.
Loaner laptops may need to install updates at any time. If you borrow a laptop, give yourself plenty of time to log in so that updates do not interfere with your activity or event. If taking a laptop off campus be sure to log in first while still on the campus network to create a user profile on the computer.
Some items may need charging. Due to scheduling and space restrictions, we cannot guarantee that items will be fully charged. When reserving equipment, allow enough time for charging the battery (laptops, Swivl units, cameras, etc.).
If you need a specific app on an iPad, request it at least three days in advance so it can be approved, purchased and installed by Information Technologies. Apps cannot be downloaded to our iPads without permission. More about loaner iPads and how to request apps can be found here.
Reservations that are not picked up will be automatically deleted either 15 minutes after the reservation end time or one day after the reservation pick up time (multi-day reservations).
