Laptop, Kindle, and AV Check Out
The Good Stuff
- Equipment is available at the PolyConnect Service Desk (Library, first floor)
- Laptops and headphones can be checked out for three hours.
- Kindles can be checked out for seven days.
- All other AV items can be checked out for three days and can have one renewal online for another two days.
- There is no charge for checkouts.
- You do not need permission from your instructor (or anyone else!)
The Serious Stuff
- You are financially responsible for damaged or lost items and parts. Normal wear and tear is okay.
- A hold can be placed on your academic record and registration if replacement fees are not paid.
- Don't be late! There is a late fee of $10 per day for AV items, and $5 per hour for laptops ($10 in fines will suspend your library privileges until paid.) All cables and accessories must be returned to avoid late charges.
- You must have a PolyCard to check out equipment.
Enjoy and please treat our equipment with the respect it deserves so that it continues to function well for the next student to use it. Also, please give us your feedback — we like that!
