Equipment Loan
Educational Technology Services (ETS) supports circulating technology equipment (see inventory) at no charge to College of Education faculty, which may be used for instruction or special events that can be checked out and utilized on campus. Members of the COE (faculty, staff, and graduate students with approval, only) have the option to reserve equipment with advanced notice. Equipment reservations are subject to availability and are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
Confirmed equipment may be picked up by the faculty member or designee and returned to Benjamin room 0234 during Technology Desk hours. You also have the option to have the desired equipment delivered upon request (Cole Student Activities Building or Benjamin Building only).
Getting equipment is a two step procedure.
- The first is to reserve the equipment.
- The second is to pick-up or arrange delivery of the equipment.
GUIDELINES
To ensure that the Technology Desk has the flexibility to provide this service, we ask that you use the following guidelines when placing a reservation request:
- Please allow at least 1 week in advance before making the request. This gives us ample time to verify its availability and resolve any conflict issues that may arise.
- If the equipment you requested is to be picked up, please do so within two (2) hours of the desired requested time. If we have another request for the same equipment within this time, ETS may cancel the original request.
- If you know that you will not need to use the equipment, please contact us immediately so that we may cancel your request. This will allow us to make the equipment available to other patrons.
- It is critical that you return the equipment to us by the promised date and time. If you cannot do so, please must make every reasonable effort to contact the Technology Desk as soon as possible. If the held items are available, the loan period may be extended. Failure to return equipment on time when needed by another patron is detrimental to both the operation of ETS and the college at large.

The most direct method is to call or visit our technology desk (301-405-3611) during its open hours. This has the advantage of being most direct, since you can often get confirmation of availability, assuming it is not too busy. Of course, if you prefer to fill out a form yourself (e.g., for a long list of dates that you would feel uncomfortable dictating), and if you cannot make it in during our open hours, you can send your request from this site (you no longer need email access), simply go to our on-line reservation form, fill it out, and submit it on-line.
Checking out equipment is the second step of the equipment loan process that ETS provides. The first step is reserving the equipment.
You should bring your UMD photo ID with you when you come to pick up equipment. While many of our students that staff the technology desk know many of our patrons, we often have new students that are told they must check ID's, no matter WHO the patron is. Please help us by remembering to bring an ID along.
If you decide to ask a student or GA to pick up the equipment for you, it helps us if you provide their name when making the reservation, or call the technology desk (301-405-3611) the day of check-out, to inform us of the change. In this way, the student can show his/her ID, and not have any problems checking out the equipment.
Please be aware that there will be a small check-out slip that the person picking up will have to fill out at the time of check-out. This is separate from the reservation form, and indicates that the reserved item was actually picked up.
Upon return, simply tell the student at the desk the name the item was under, and they will check you back in on the check-out slip.
