How long can I borrow equipment? What if I'm late?

Equipment checkout periods vary depending on the type of equipment, ranging from a few hours to an entire semester. For complete details on your length of checkout and due date, please contact the place from which you checked out equipment.

Late fees do apply to late returns, again varying upon the type of equipment. In general, however, late fees are $10/day, up to the replacement cost of the equipment. Late returns of laptops checked out in the library are $5/hour, up to the replacement cost of the equipment. For more details about late fees, please contact the place from which you checked out equipment.

When in doubt, if you have any questions or concerns about borrowing equipment, late fees, contact IMS (527-5257, ims@whitman.edu).
