Students may reserve equipment and editing at any time during the current week, and may begin reserving for the next week on or after the prior Wednesday. Reservations will start at 9am in person at the Cage. Phone reservations will begin at 10am.

Equipment Checkout Procedure

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.

Equipment Return Procedure

When returning equipment, students must be present for check in. Once again, allow up to a 1/2 hour for check in (this would be a good time to tell us of any issues you had with the equipment). If you need to remove footage off of either the SD/Compact Flash cards or hard drive for the camera or digital audio recorder you’re returning, that has to be done BEFORE you return your equipment. Equipment cannot be left at the Cage while you go & dump your footage. Everything must be returned at the same time. Partial return of equipment WILL NOT be accepted. If something has gone missing, you will be charged for its replacement. Equipment that is left at the Equipment Center WITHOUT doing a proper check-in will be considered LATE & may result in possible loss of privileges.
