Policies
The Stratford School Media Services office maintains a variety of equipment that is available to loan to students, faculty, and staff.
Check-out
The loanable equipment is available in order of priority: in-class workshop assignments, course projects, then research. The equipment is not to be treated as personal property or used for non-University related purposes. Equipment is not to be used to generate income or for business purposes.
All equipment must be scanned and checked out using the barcode equipment tracking system located in the Media Services Office. At the time of check-out and check-in, the condition of the equipment and the presence of all peripherals such as cables, battery and/or charger, card reader, etc. included with the borrowed item or kit will be noted by Media Services.
If returned equipment is damaged or the condition of the equipment is not suitable for re-use, the borrower assumes full financial liability to either repair or replace the equipment to its original condition (at the Media Services personnel’s discretion). In the event that the equipment is lost, stolen or irretrievable, the borrower assumes full financial responsibility to cover the insurance deductible or replacement of the equipment.
Although Media Services check equipment when it is returned, there is no absolute guarantee that equipment is in perfect working order when you receive it. You are expected to thoroughly check all equipment upon issuance because you are agreeing to take responsibility for any damage to equipment while in your possession. If you find any problems during this check, you must inform Media Services immediately.
Under no circumstances should equipment in the borrower’s possession be loaned to any other person. All equipment transfers must be handled through the Media Services Office, even when passing equipment on to the next user.
Media Services personnel reserve the right to limit or deny the use of equipment depending on a person’s borrowing history.
