Checkout Process

Reserve and Pick Up Equipment

  1. Reserve equipment using the iSchool online equipment checkout system. By clicking the 'I Agree to These Terms' button, you are entering into a legally binding contract and are responsible for returning the equipment on time and in good working order.
  2. On the day you are scheduled to pick up your equipment, go to the IT Office (MGH 470) where you will sign it out.
  3. If you notice any problems with the equipment, please tell the IT staff.
  4. Provide your Husky ID or other photo identification during checkout.
  5. DISCLAIMER: Because we cannot guarantee that an item will be returned to us on time and in perfect working order, we cannot guarantee that the items you've reserved will be available on the day they're scheduled for pick up.

Return Equipment

  1. On the day you are scheduled to return your equipment, return it to the Information School IT Office.
  2. The IT staff will check that the equipment and all accessories are present and that everything is working order and in good condition.

If you have any suggestions for how we can improve the checkout system or would like to report a bug, please send an email to ihelp@uw.edu.
