Equipment Sign-Out Policy
The lending of equipment and other resources must be done judiciously. Accordingly, the first priority for all sign-out equipment is to accommodate course project and teaching demands. Extra curricular projects must be pursued as second priority; no guarantees can be made for the accommodation of these types of projects.
This reservation and sign-out policy is directed towards all Arts and Humanities sign-out equipment.
Students/Faculty/Staff may reserve equipment in advance by making a booking directly through the Sign-out booking website or in-person in VAC 244
Equipment dedicated for specific class use may not be signed out for general use through the term of the class.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in classes in which course projects require specific equipment.
Any student/faculty/staff who is not registered in Visual Arts or Film Studies cannot sign out any of the Arts and Humanities equipment.
Students/Faculty/Staff who are in this situation should speak with the Operations and Communications Manager (519) 661-2111 x 86190
The equipment can be picked up after 1pm on the day reserved and must be returned before 1pm of the designated return date (class scheduling exceptions should be made in advance).
All information provided by the borrower on the sign-out form will remain confidential unless s/he has violated any of the regulations pertaining to borrowing privileges.
Please Note: Students failing to respect the responsibilities listed, fail to return equipment in good order or fail to return equipment will be invoiced by the University for the full value of repairs or equipment. Be advised, uncollected amounts will be forwarded to a collection agency. Items not returned after one week will be considered theft and reported to the UWO police.
