Laptop Checkout Policy

Equipment may be checked out for 24 hours. Any longer term checkouts must be approved.

All equipment will be tested by the lab tech before being checked out. If equipment is returned in non-working order, broken, or missing parts, the person who checked it out will pay for subsequent repair or replacement. They will be invoiced for all repair costs, replacement costs, and shipping costs and must pay the balance off before they are allowed to check out computer equipment again.

Equipment must be turned in as requested by the lab tech (via email or phone) for maintenance or instructional needs or for any other reason. If a request is not answered, the person with equipment checked out will be unable to check out computer equipment for the remainder of the semester and possibly the next semester or year.
