Media Equipment Checkout

Checkout Equipment

  • Media equipment, laptops, and iPads, among other items, are available for checkout from the Student Technology Help Desk (2nd floor, Kellogg Library, x4790).  Students, faculty, & staff must present their CSUSM ID or digital ID (CSUSM app). Equipment types have varying lengths of checkout periods. 
  • These items are available for campus-related projects and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 
  • The check-out time for most items is one week (some items are available on a 3-hour basis). 
  • To ensure equipment is available for all campus patrons, equipment can be renewed one time before it must be returned.
  • If the check-out items are returned late, you will incur a fine not to exceed the replacement cost of the equipment.  If equipment is not returned and/or fines are not paid, we will consult Student Financial Services to review payment recovery options which may include registration holds.
  • This equipment checkout is subject to the campus acceptable use policy.
  • To find out more about your options, please visit our Home Technology Loan page to begin the loan process.

    I understand I am required to display my valid CSUSM identification in order to check out equipment and that this equipment is only issued to enrolled CSUSM students, faculty or staff. I further understand that I am not allowed to check out equipment if I have any overdue item(s) or fine(s).  I also understand that any communications between the campus and the borrower will be through my official student, staff or faculty email account (i.e., myusername@cougars.csusm.edu or stafforfacultyname@csusm.edu).

    Late fees accrue at $2 per hour, per item, for all media equipment and $10 per hour for laptops.

    I assume full responsibility and financial liability for all the equipment and accessories borrowed during the time it is checked out to me.

    • I acknowledge that when I return the equipment, a staff member will verify all parts are present and that the equipment is in good working order.  I will be required to remain with the staff member until this check-in is completed. During the check-in process, I may request a receipt, acknowledging the return of the equipment.
