Equipment Checkout

The equipment is available for check out by faculty and staff. There is no charge for checking out equipment if returned on time and in good condition. This service is provided for official school use only and may be used either on or off campus for appropriate purposes.  Please be sure when returning equipment to hand it to a staff member to be checked-in and that you sign your check-out form stating the equipment is returned in working order.
