AV Equipment Policies

All equipment must be picked up from and returned to HH269. Please return equipment promptly after class, as another instructor may be waiting to pick it up. You are responsible for the equipment while it is checked out to you - please do not leave it unattended, and exercise caution while transporting it to and from your classroom. If you experience difficulty operating the equipment, please contact the HIRC at 824-6344 for assistance.

Most av equipment, including carts (which contain VCR/Video Projector and optional laptop, LaserDisc player and/or DVD player) and laptops, can ONLY be used anywhere within the Humanities Quad (HIB, HH, MKH, HICF). Slide projectors, overhead projectors, cameras and tripods can be taken anywhere on campus.

We require that all requests be submitted online (fill out the request form on our website). HIRC staff will confirm your request within 24 hours. All requests should be received no less than two working days in advance of the needed date. We can guarantee neither the priority nor the processing of requests which are not submitted within these guidelines. Training on the use of all Humanities AV Equipment is available upon request. We strongly advise you to ask for assistance the first time you use our equipment, and to let us know in advance how you plan to use it, when possible. At minimum, a brief overview of procedures and potential troubleshooting tips can be given if you arrive just 5 minutes earlier than necessary to transport the equipment to your class.

We welcome your input: if you have any suggestions regarding our services, please feel free to submit them.
