Students, faculty, and staff can check out a variety of media equipment for course and work related purposes through the IT Service Desk. Equipment may be checked out and returned during regular Service Desk hours of operation at 601 Division St.
Guidelines
- Equipment check out is for individual students, faculty, and staff. We do not check out large numbers of items for an entire class or workshop.
- Equipment check out is first-come first-serve.
- Students: Students should stop by the IT Service Desk to see if equipment is available for check out. Equipment reservations are not available to students. Students may check out equipment for up to one week. An additional week extension may be requested if needed.
- Faculty: Faculty may reserve equipment by calling or emailing the IT Service Desk. Equipment can be reserved for up to four weeks. Longer time periods or extensions require Service Desk manager approval.
- You must show a valid photo ID to check out equipment.
- Allocate adequate time for check out and return. You and a Service Desk Associate will verify that all equipment is present and functional at the time of check-out and again at the time of check-in. For more detail regarding equipment check out and return see the Equipment Use Agreement.
- You are responsible for ensuring that:
- the device(s) you check out is properly charged for your event.
- your data is removed before returning the device to the Service Desk.

Lost or Damaged Equipment
Customers are held liable for loss or any damages other than normal wear that are incurred during the checkout period.
- Broken equipment or equipment reported as lost: You will be billed the cost to replace or repair a broken or lost item plus an additional $15 processing fee.
- Unreturned equipment: Unreturned equipment is considered "Lost". If the accrued late fees exceed the cost of the unreturned equipment, you will be billed the replacement cost of the equipment plus a $50 processing fee.
- Unreturned accessories: if accessories (e.g. power cord) are found missing during your equipment return you have two business days to locate and return the items. After two business days, you will be charged the replacement cost value plus an additional $5 processing fee. These charges will be applied in addition to any other accrued late fees.
Charges are assessed at the replacement cost of an item that is equal to or has similar specifications. Faculty/Staff charges are applied to a department account. Student charges are applied directly to the student's UWSP bill.
