Section I
Guidelines and Procedures

1. A student must complete an equipment request form and submit it to his/her professor via email. The professor’s signature on the request verifies that the student is using the equipment for a class project and is qualified to use the equipment they are requesting. (Professors must not sign off on any equipment that the student is not qualified to use.)

No exceptions are allowed.

Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro Cameras The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro cameras are to be signed out using ONLY the designated sign out form for that camera. Only students who have been taught this camera, and has been certified by a qualified professor, can sign out this camera. You must indicate on the form which professor taught it to you, and the semester you learned it. Failure to do so will automatically nullify your request.

There are no exceptions.

*Note to Professors
-Do not sign a blank equipment request form. All information must be filled in.

2. The TV Center requires each student to submit their request form via email at least three days prior to the requested check out date. No Exceptions are allowed.

At this time, the TV Center will NOT be accepting physical forms. All requests must be made via email.

3. If a student does not pick up equipment on the day they have requested it, their request form becomes void. A new form must be signed by a professor and submitted within the proper timeframe.

4. All equipment will be reserved for students (in an approved TVF/COM class) on a first come, first serve basis.

5. The student is authorized to sign out only the equipment checked or noted on the request form that they are qualified to use and only on the specific date that is noted.

6. Equipment check out times and check in times are dependent on classes and the need for equipment in those classes. Check out/in times will vary by semester and may also vary by the equipment requested.
