Loaner Pool for Students
The loaner pool is intended to provide access to equipment that is not generally available on the campus. Students may call to reserve equipment in the loaner at any time. However, it is wise to make reservations as early as possible so that the availability of the equipment can be guaranteed. Equipment checked out to students is for academic purposes only. In the case of more expensive equipment, it may be required that a faculty or staff member confirm the nature of the project which requires the equipment. Laptops and LCD projectors are checked out to students for a 24 hour period, for presentations of an academic nature. Since the equipment in the loaner pool is limited, at the time of checkout we will set a date for its return. The maximum amount of time a piece of equipment can be loaned out is 5 days, unless there are extenuating circumstances, determined on a case-by-case basis. We require training on the equipment in the loaner pool, before it is checked out. When you reserve the equipment we will schedule a time for you to receive the training. Students are responsible for the condition and timely return of the equipment they check out. We will charge a late fee of $2 per hour for equipment that is not returned on time. After the equipment has been overdue for 5 business days, we will charge the replacement cost of the item to the students account. If the equipment is returned after the 15 days, we will leave the late fees (totaling $80) and a service fee of $10 on the account, but will remove the charge for the item. Please be aware that many of our items have very high replacement costs.
