Policies

Late Equipment Check-in Fees

Any student returning equipment late must sign a Late Check-in Log and the appropriate fee will be charged to the student’s bill.

• Up to 1 hour late on the same day- $25
• More than 1 hour late on the same day- $35
• 1 day late- $55
• Each additional day late- +$45

If equipment is damaged, lost or stolen while in the student’s possession, the student accepts responsibility for all costs and charges for replacement and/or repair.

EQUIPMENT IS IN YOUR POSSESSION UNTIL IT IS CONFIRMED AS "CHECKED-IN" BY A STAFF MEMBER. DO NOT DROP OFF EQUIPMENT AND LEAVE IT UNATTENDED WITHOUT CHECK-IN.

Additional Policies:

• As of Spring 2023, all specialty equipment including dollies, sliders, focus pullers, Easyrigs, gimbals and upper-level cameras are exclusively available to students that have completed a tutorial build-out with a staff member. Bookings for staff training are now available in the 'Training' portal. 
• All studio spaces will be locked unless a reservation has been made. If you wish to book a studio during unavailable hours, please email Jessica Bean at least 24hrs in advance of your requested time.
• All productions must have a pre-production packet approved by Daniel Beard before confirmation. If no pre-production packet is submitted, the booking may be subject to cancellation.
• Only equipment reserved through Connect2 will be processed during checkout and no last-minute additions will be accepted. Please ensure that your list is correct and complete before submitting.
• All equipment booked must be accepted at checkout. Rejecting reserved equipment during checkout will not be permitted.
• The user who submitted the booking needs to be present at both checkout and check-in. 
• If any equipment needs to be added/removed before checkout, please email Jessica Bean at least 24hrs in advance of checkout time with a detailed list of items for update.
• The Equipment Room calendar runs on a 24hr clock. Equipment booked will be available to you for a maximum of 24hrs, unless booking on a weekend. On weekends, check-in time extends to the next available weekday. Please make sure that both your checkout and check-in times work with your schedule.
