Restrictions and How They Work

Each equipment category has a restriction tied to it. In order to check out equipment from a particular category, a student needs to have the corresponding clearance. For example, in order to rent equipment from the Photo (Intermediate) category, a student needs the Photo (Intermediate) clearance, obtained by taking Digital Image Design. Information on categories and their restrictions can be found on the Equipment Restrictions and Clearance page.

Clearing Students for Equipment

Normally students are automatically granted clearance necessary for any classes they are taking at the beginning of the semester. Eventually, you will come across students who need to be manually cleared for certain categories of equipment.

Before you grant a student any clearance, check that they have met the requirements for it by requesting they bring you a copy of their transcript. Students can be granted clearance if they have taken or are currently taken the appropriate class as listed on the Equipment Restrictions and Clearance page.

Once you have verified their credentials, proceed to the Equipment application on the IAM site and follow these directions:

Step 1

Click on Restrictions in the navigation menu.

Step 2

Once Restrictions have been selected, check the column labeled How To Obtain Clearance. This displays details on what requirements need to be met before a student is able to take out equipment in the corresponding Category.

Step 3

After checking for the proper requirements, click on Clearance in the navigation.

Step 4

From here, you can enter the student's name or Oasis ID number into the search bar below the navigation. Please note that some students login with Firstname.Lastname rather than FLastname (or vice versa.) If you enter a student's oasis ID, be sure to ask them if the corresponding account name is the one that they currently log in to the lab computers with

Step 5

In the Add Permissions section, there is a list of clearance categories that would be checked off depending on what student met which requirements. To check which requirements have been checked for a student, enter an oasis ID or the student's login name into the Search UserName or OasisID search box.

Step 6

Once you find the student's name / ID and corresponding account, their current permissions are displayed. For any missing equipment permission, click on the checkbox with the permission that you need to grant. From there, click Add Permission and the student should be able to check out the appropriate equipment.
