You must present a valid current semester Columbia College ID to checkout the equipment. No equipment will be issued without a current semester ID.

All equipment must be picked up no later than 1/2 hour before closing (Monday - Thursday 9pm, Friday 4pm). THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. Please plan for traffic, CTA delays, and other obstacles because there are NO EXCEPTIONS.

News classes equipment pickup is at the Front Desk of the Columbia College Chicago Library (624 S Michigan Ave, 1st Floor)

Plan AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR for checkout to be completed. Once a work-aide has tested all equipment, students will be REQUIRED to inspect, test all equipment, and complete a checklist before checkout will be completed. Students MUST comply in order to receive equipment. NO EXCEPTIONS. We will not rush and neither will you. Remember, you are held responsible for what you sign off on & will have to pay for any repairs for damaged equipment in your care.
