Equipment Checkout

Information School affiliated students, staff and faculty can check out a variety of equipment for a 7-day period. If you need the item for more than 7 days, just let the Help Desk know when you pick it up and we are happy to extend the checkout as availability permits.

NOTE: The Help Desk is closed during UW holidays, so checkouts and returns are not available on these days.

Effective immediately and until further notice, equipment check-out and return will be by appointment only from our Mary Gates Hall room 470 office location. If you create a reservation with the website below, to borrow or return equipment, please email ihelp@uw.edu to schedule an appointment.

  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.
