Reserving a Still Camera or Sound Recorder

Laptops, Still Cameras or Sound Recorders cannot be booked or reserved.

Loan Period

The loan period on the still cameras and sound recorders  is one week, and may be borrowed at any time of the year.

What to remember when picking up equipment.

To borrow equipment the student must provide LRAT with a valid Student ID card

Still cameras and sound recorders are issued on a first come first served basis.

You will need to be prepared to sign an agreement taking full personal responsibility for theft, loss or damage.

Booking-out procedure

You will check the contents of the equipment package with LRAT staff and then sign agreements as to the loan and the use of the equipment.

Looking after the equipment and Security

You will be responsible for the security of all or part of the equipment during the loan. Any loss or damage will be invoiced to you. This applies also in case of theft - the borrower should make insurance provision for this. We will invoice for all loss or damage, and non-payers will be put on 'financial hold' which could lead to your not being awarded a degree.
