How to add clearance to students

Restrictions and How They Work

Each equipment category has a restriction tied to it. For instance, in order to take out any equipment under the Manual Photography category, a student would have to take Digital Image Design. However, there are categories that will be automatically cleared for a student to use. For example, the Training Software category is automatically cleared for students to check out the tutorial software.

Clearing Students For Equipment

Eventually, you will come across students who have not been cleared for certain categories of equipment. In this case, you'd want to follow these steps to clear them for checkouts.

Before you give a student any clearance, make sure to check if the student has met the requirements. If they have taken a class that is required for clearance, request that they bring you a transcript for proof.

Once you have credentials, proceed to the Equipment Database and do the following:

1. Click on Restrictions in the navigation menu.

1. Once Restrictions has 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.

1. After checking for the proper requirements, click on Clearance in the navigation. On this page, you will be able to clear students for checkout.
