To reserve, borrow and/or return equipment, clients must present a valid Loyola University Chicago (LUC) ID card and be currently enrolled in classes during the current academic term, quarter or semester, as a student. Currently employed faculty or staff may use the Equipment Loan Program (ELP) in order to support University business. LUC Alumni and community access members do not have access to the ELP.

Loss or damage of equipment while on loan and/or returning equipment late may result in being blocked from checking out equipment from DMS. Additional conditions for this policy are related to a client’s status at the University:

Students

• If equipment is returned late, the student will receive a warning, in addition to any associated fine.  
• On a second late return within a three month rolling window, the student will receive a final warning, in addition to any associated fine. 
• On the third late return of equipment within a three month rolling window, the student will be blocked from the ELP for a period of one month.

Faculty & Staff

• If equipment is returned late, the faculty/staff member will receive a warning, in addition to any associated fine. 
• On the second late return of equipment within a three month rolling window, the faculty/staff member will be blocked from the ELP for a period of one month.

Any client with fines or fees due to Digital Media Services (DMS), Instructional Technology and Research Support (ITRS) or Information Technology Services (ITS) will not be permitted to participate in any of the Equipment Loan Programs sponsored by Information Technology Services. Clients will be permitted to participate once their fines and/or fees are paid in full and/or any existing blocks or holds have expired.
