Have a class project or presentation that requires media equipment? UTS can help. Check out laptops, projectors, screens, cameras, camcorders, and other media equipment free of charge.

Here’s How You Do It:

1. Students who would like to check out laptops and/or other equipment must have their professor or organization’s advisor notify UTS. This can be done via a written memo or e-mail to UTS Media Services. See contact information below. Be sure the memo includes the student's name, PantherID, pickup and return dates.
2. Students must pick up the equipment and present their Panther Card at the time of checkout. See locations below.
3. Reservations for laptops must be made at least 48 hours before pickup date.
4. Students must return equipment on the same day that they are checked out.
5. We will provide you with a Media Custody Form that must be kept with the equipment at all times.

Things You Should Know:

1. A Late Fee of $5.00 per day will be charged if the equipment is returned after the deadline.
2. All equipment is the property of the State of Florida and subject to the provisions of Florida Statutes, Sect. 812.021 (1b,c).
3. Damage or loss must be reported immediately. In case of theft, you must provide a police report to our department.
4. Personal liability may be assessed if gross negligence or lack of due care is proven in the use of this equipment.
5. UTS deletes any files left on the hard drive when the laptop is returned so be sure you save any files to an external drive.
