Student Equipment Loaner Program - Responsibilities and Guidelines

Responsibilities:

  1. You are responsible for any equipment checked out to you from this program, and you must take all reasonable precautions to protect it. You should not allow others to use the equipment because you are the person who will be held liable for any loss, damage, or criminal acts that may occur.

  2. You are responsible for repair or replacement of this equipment due to any loss or damage while it is checked out to you. While all the equipment is insured through the UW's Risk Management office, the deductibles are substantial (up to $750 for loss or damage involving laptops occurring in the UW and Canada; up to $1,000 for loss or damage occurring in foreign locations (including, oddly enough, Hawaii)). Also, Risk Management may refuse to pay claims if in its judgment the loss is due to negligence on your part. If this occurs, you will be responsible for the full replacement or repair costs.

    Approximate replacement costs for this equipment are available at:

    If you do not make arrangements with the University of Washington Libraries to pay such charges, it may affect your ability to register for classes at the University of Washington or receive your diploma and transcripts, and be referred for collection.

  3. If any equipment you have checked out is stolen or you suspect it is stolen, you must notify the library unit from which it is checked out and file a theft report with the University of Washington Police immediately. The telephone number for UW Police is 206-543-9331 if you're off campus, or 9-911 on campus. The telephone number for the Architecture and Urban Planning Library is 206-543-4067.

  4. You must return any equipment you have checked out at or before the day and time at which it is due. If you fail to return equipment on time, you may be removed permanently from the list of eligible borrowers.

Use Guidelines:

  1. You must adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in licensing agreements including licensing grant restrictions, copyright restrictions, and transfer restrictions. For example, you may not copy software for personal use.

  2. You must adhere to acceptable use policies for uniform access computing as outlined by the University of Washington.

Liability:

  1. The College of Architecture and Urban Planning is not responsible for loss of data or other damage to files that may occur due to use of the computer.

  2. All data will be deleted from the computer upon its return. If you want to save your work, you must back up your files to your own media.

  3. The statement-of-responsibility agreement must be renewed (by submitting a new form) each academic year, and separately for summer quarter.

  4. You must be a currently enrolled major or graduate student in one of the Departments of the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Washington to participate in this program.
