OSCR Gear to Go Request
Fill out each semester, 72 hours in advance of checking out equipment
Eligibility:
Gear-to-Go Center equipment is available to current students, faculty, and staff of the University of Arizona. Borrowers of equipment will be required to present a valid UA CatCard at time of pickup. In order to become eligible to reserve and check out equipment, borrowers must fill out the Gear-to-Go Center access form and agree to the terms and conditions of the Gear-to-Go Center. Borrowers may have their eligibility suspended or revoked due to violations of any of the Gear-to-Go policies. Any such penalties, including the length of suspensions, will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Service Charge Cost:
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.
Gear-to-Go consultants can assist you with reservations, checkout, checkin, and equipment use.
- Each semester, interested borrowers must submit a request for access to Gear-to-Go 72 hours in advance of their first checkout for the semester.
- Equipment can be reserved up to two weeks in advance.
- Most gear can be checked out for a maximum of two days.
- Equipment is limited to one piece of each type of equipment per person per reservation. For example, one person may check out a video camera, a tripod, and a microphone, but not two video cameras. See the Types of Equipment in Documentation.
- Reservations can be made via phone or in person. We cannot accept reservations through email or voicemail.
- To reserve, call (520) 621-0GTG (0484) or stop by the Gear-to-Go Center.
- Gear-to-Go equipment may not be used for for-profit use or taken outside of the United States.
- Borrowers must wait 48 hours after returning gear before they can reserve that type of gear again.
- Equipment is always due back by 3 PM on due date. For example, if the equipment is checked out on Monday at 10 AM, it will be due back on Wednesday no later than 3 PM. If the equipment is checked out on 5 PM on Wednesday, it will be due no later than Friday at 3 PM.
- Overdue equipment will result in the immediate suspension of your borrowing privileges, and a strike will be recorded on your account. After three strikes your borrowing privileges will be revoked indefinitely.
