  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.

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.
