Check out/in location:
Whitaker Learning Lab

Check out times for Fall 2020 are still not available due to having to hire a monitor to manage the equipment check in and check out.


Equipment can be checked out for seven days at a time. To renew, you must return to the Whitaker Lab and have the monitor check out the equipment again. You must present a valid University ID upon check out/in. Any damage or loss of the equipment is your responsibility and may incur costs upon return. Equipment is checked out in working condition. Additional batteries and/or charging needed while the equipment is in your possession is your responsibility. Some equipment may need to be charged upon checkout. All iPad/iPods will be reset to factory settings upon return. Any equipment checked out needs to be picked up and dropped off at the Whitaker Lab during lab hours by the same individual.
