Loaner Equipment

Equipment Checkout Policy

Rental agreements for all equipment rentals last for 7 day periods. Extensions to the rental term may be given based on circumstances, and current demand for equipment. Once arriving at the ITS HelpDesk to checkout equipment, please have your Eckerd College ID card ready. The individual checking out the requested equipment assumes responsibility for its condition; charges will be applied if rented equipment is returned in a worse state than when it was checked out. The equipment must be returned on time, and in the same condition as it was received. If the equipment is returned past the due date, the following will occur:

• Students will incur a daily late fee (this caps after 10 days) until the equipment is returned. Late fees are calculated based on the asset value of the item or device. 

• A “hold” will be placed on the account; renters who return equipment more than three weeks after the agreed-upon due date will be prohibited from renting equipment for the duration of the academic semester.

• If the item is lost, or destroyed, the renter is then fully responsible for covering the full cost of replacing the item, as well as a replacement fee. 

• You may refute any charges applied to your account, by filling out the Rental Equipment Fee Appeal Form, linked here.
