The Equipment Room registration unit will not be visible until you have passes the Basic Training unit.

Policy
Insurance
Equipment insurance is required in order to register for and borrow equipment from the Equipment Room.
Loans
All equipment, except laptops, is due back in 3 business days.
Laptops are available to use on the IDM floor only and must be returned 15 minutes prior to the equipment room closing on the day of the loan.
Late Returns
Students who keep equipment beyond the checkout deadline and have not contacted the Equipment Room to explain their situation and receive a waiver (illness or other emergencies) will not be allowed to borrow any equipment for one week for every day late. In certain cases, the Department may allow students to complete a community service project instead of serving out the entire privilege suspension.
Repeat offenders will be ineligible to borrow equipment from the Equipment Room. If equipment is not returned at the end of a semester, a student’s grades may be withheld, and their account with the Bursar’s Office will be charged for the missing/damaged items.
Renewals
Equipment (if not reserved) may be renewed only in person at the IDM Equipment Room. Students must have the equipment with them to renew. Equipment must be renewed before the due date; overdue equipment cannot be renewed. Students are allowed to renew the equipment only up to 3 times.
Dropbox
Only use when the Equipment Room is closed. You are still responsible for safely returning all equipment checked out under your name. Due dates still apply. Your items are considered “returned” once a staff member has collected them. Dropbox is checked daily at opening and closing by the staff member.
Equipment for Courses
If you are an instructor please use WebCheckout to reserve equipment for your class.
