Faculty & Staff Equipment Checkout
Media equipment is available to faculty and staff at no charge for ISU tuition-based instruction. All other uses of media equipment are subject to rental charges. Equipment reservations are subject to availability and are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure availability, we recommend reserving equipment at least one week in advance. Computer/video projectors may require more notice.
Equipment may be reserved either in person at the IT Services counter in the main entrance lobby of the Communications Building, or by calling 515-294-8026. Many media enhanced classrooms have equipment permanently installed. Other media equipment is stored on location in classroom buildings and can be reserved by contacting the media coordinators for each location.

- Equipment use is free if it is used for ISU tuition-based instruction. For all other uses a rental fee is asessed based on the equipment and length of time it is used.
