GSE&IS ETU Equipment Available for Checkout

The Purpose of ETU's Checkout Program

The Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, through ETU, provides and checks out the following equipment to support faculty and students in instruction and research-related activities within GSE&IS. Equipment is available for checkout to faculty, staff, and enrolled students of GSE&IS. To the best of our ability, we want to be sure everyone with appropriate need for equipment is able to check it out within a reasonable timeframe. For that reason, the policies and guidelines that ETU has in place with regard to equipment checkout will be strictly enforced.

How to Check out Equipment/General Guidelines

1. Make a Reservation Request
   Reservation requests for all equipment should be made in advance and will be confirmed according to availability. Reservations are made on a first-come first-served basis, and priority is given to on-campus instruction. Reservation requests may be made in person at Moore Hall 3027, by phone at 310-825-1911 (X51911), or by email at etu@gseis.ucla.edu. Please provide the following information when requesting a reservation: name, faculty sponsor, contact phone number, Bruin ID number, date/time/duration of checkout. Your reservation will be confirmed by ETU according to availability of equipment; until you receive a vocal or email confirmation, your reservation has not been made.

2. Pick Up Equipment
   Equipment may be picked-up in 3027 Moore Hall during ETU office hours; UCLA Identification, proof of GSE&IS affiliation, and reason for use are necessary for checking out equipment.

   All equipment must be picked up and returned to ETU according to the exact reservation times. No equipment will be set up or picked up by ETU. If you require assistance with setup, please let ETU know when the reservation is place so that arrangements can be made.

3. Return Equipment
   A date and time for return will be established; if no specific time of day is set, the equipment must be returned before 5:00PM on the return date. If an extension is needed, the borrower must bring equipment back to ETU by the due date and check for further availability. Violation of checkout policies, especially late returns, can result in restriction or suspension of checkout privileges. All equipment must be picked up and returned to ETU according to the exact reservation times. No equipment will be set up or picked up by ETU.
