Student ID Card Mandate

Reservations/checkout/check-ins mandate that you carry your student ID card. No ID card = no checkout. If you are working in groups, the person who makes the reservation with their ID card MUST be the one who picks it up AND returns it.

Loan Periods:

General Checkout policy : 5 Day Checkouts  (Faculty 1 week)

Equipment can be requested on a case by case basis for longer periods of time based on availability and high-demand. 

Returning Items:

Main Campus Center – 2nd Floor Multimedia Checkout Center (MCC²)

Renewals: Items can be renewed up to three times if no holds have been placed by other patrons. The borrower will make the equipment available at anytime as requested, it is not a guarantee that you will be able to renew your equipment and renewals must be done BEFORE the equipment is due back. This is a courtesy if no other patrons are requesting the equipment.

Renewals can be done in person, by phone, or by email. If you leave a message or email and have not received a reply, do not assume your equipment is renewed. 

Equipment that is not renewed before it is due will follow a 3 strikes rule. Not responding to communication from MCC^2 employees counts as strike. After 3 strikes, suspension of checkout privileges for the remainder of term. To lift this suspension you will need to have a meeting with the checkout center manager to go over the policies and procedures before checking out equipment.

The Multimedia Checkout Center (MCC²) does not charge daily overdue fines, but if you have overdue items you will not be able to check out anything else until items are returned. Multiple late returns will result in suspension of checkouts.

 Replacement fees will apply to non-returned items.

Items 30 days overdue will be marked lost and you will be responsible for the replacement cost. If items are returned promptly the replacement charge(s) will be removed. See the Lost Items Policy below for more details about replacement charges.

Items 60 days or more overdue will have replacement charges transferred to Student Accounts to be added to your student bill. Once charges have been transferred they cannot be waived.

Vetting Policy:

Some equipment needs prior knowledge to be checked out. For the safety of patrons and for the protection of our equipment MCC^2 reserves the right to refuse checkout of equipment on a case by case basis. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! 

LOST ITEMS: GENERAL POLICY

In addition to replacement costs a $10.00 processing fee will be assessed for each item. Processing fees are used to pay tax, shipping, and the cost of the materials needed to process items for circulation.

Multimedia Checkout Center (MCC²) items remain the property of the Cornish College of the Arts and must be returned even if replacement charges have been paid.

If a student has not cleared their account by graduation or withdrawal their diploma and/or transcripts will be held by the Registrar.

It is the responsibility of the patron to verify replacement charges have been paid in order to reinstate borrowing privileges.

DAMAGED ITEMS: GENERAL POLICY

Replacement or repair costs are due if items are returned, damaged or broken according to the value of the equipment assessed by the Multimedia Checkout Center (MCC²).

HOW TO PAY REPLACEMENT CHARGES : If you have lost or damaged items, you will be billed for the items by the Cashier's Office. You can email multimediacheckout@cornish.edu to receive an invoice for the amount owed. This invoice can be paid at student accounts Cashiers Office

Warning About Equipment and Cars:

DO NOT leave equipment in the car. NEVER leave cameras, mics and other sensitive electronics in your vehicle. If stolen, it is your responsibility for replacement costs.

Equipment Problems:

If you experience a problem with the equipment, make note of it and tell us exactly what happened. Sometimes "problems" can be solved easily and can be user errors, so make sure you are detailed in explaining what was going wrong. This way, we can fix the problem or show you what to do next time to avoid issues.

Be Respectful:

Everything works better when people treat each other, spaces and shared materials with respect. It's and all about you….showing up, calling when you have a problem, and treating all equipment with care. Feel free to come on by to work through project ideas or learn how to use specific equipment. Remember, we are here to help, so don’t be afraid to ask us questions and be honest with us!
