To help maintain proper distancing, the iPad has been temporarily removed from the Checkout window. Please make your reservations online before you arrive at Checkout. Allow extra time when picking up and returning equipment to avoid crowding at the window.

All equipment will be wiped down with disinfectant upon return/restocking. 

Instructors and staff--if you need to schedule bulk and/or repeating reservations, please contact srmastroianni@cia.edu to check on availability and set up your reservation. Resources are available on a first come/first serve basis, so please anticipate and help us plan for your requests.

You are responsible for all equipment in your possession until it is returned to CIA.

Log In

The Checkout reservation system requires your CIA email as your log in. If you encounter difficulties, please contact or come to the Checkout desk (rm. 325) so that we can update your profile in our system. 

Loan Periods

Reservations can be made up to 7 days in advance. Most items are available for 24 hours, items reserved on Friday can be taken for the weekend. Certain items, including Wacom tablets, Cintiq pens and adapters, and iPads, are available for up to two weeks. Renewals can be made in person at the Checkout desk or via email request. One renewal per item based on availability and demand. Users must wait 24 hours before reserving the same item type again. (i.e., laptops or cameras cannot be reserved back to back). 

Fines

There is a minimum fine of $2.00 plus .50 per hour (during open hours) on every late item, per item. Uncharged batteries and unattended equipment will incur a flat $10 fine. Fines apply to ALL users. Users will not be able to make any new reservations until fines are paid. Three late returns in a semester will result in an automatic one week ban from Checkout.

Be considerate! Late returns affect everyone else using the Checkout when that resource isn't available for the next user.

If you are going to be late for any reason, please contact the Checkout office so that we can anticipate the situation, and when possible, accommodate you to avoid penalties. 

The Equipment Checkout desk is located on the 3rd floor, room 325.
