When picking up equipment, please make sure items are picked up within 24 hours of the date requested, otherwise the reservation will be cancelled, and the equipment put back into circulation for reservations. 

Equipment can only be checked out for one week at a time.
Extensions may be approved one time only and depend on availability and other reservations.

If you would like to receive training on how to set up certain kinds of equipment, schedule a training session with Technology Support before the date the equipment is needed. Technology Support.
