In order to become eligible to reserve and check out equipment, borrowers must agree to the terms and conditions of the Gear-to-Go Center.

Any such penalties, including the length of suspensions, will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Check out of Gear-to-Go equipment is free to UA students, faculty, and staff. Borrowers assume financial responsibility for equipment that is damaged, lost, or stolen. See Gear-to-Go Policies in Documentation.
