Equipment Request and Use:

Individual faculty requests for equipment are subject to equipment availability and are issued on a "first come, first served" basis. In the event that the equipment requested is not available due to semester bound commitment(s), please meet with your dean.

Please note, A/V equipment cannot be left unsupervised by the requesting instructor. The Computer Learning Center staff must be alerted when you are finished using the equipment. In the event that a staff member is not available for pickup, please notify security to ensure that the equipment is returned to the Center.

In the event of an equipment problem, a Computer Learning Center staff member should be notified immediately. Instructors are not permitted to fix any piece of equipment. If an instructor needs technical assistance, please contact a Center staff member and he/she will request a technician.
