Audio Visual Checkout

Audio Visual Checkout
CIS keeps a limited amount of supplemental audio visual (AV) equipment on hand in support of functions that involve academic instruction and official university events. This equipment is available for pickup from the CIS HelpDesk. Reservations must be made in advance and require one (1) business day advance notice. Checkout equipment is provided for self-service pick-up, setup, and return.

AV checkout equipment is intended to be used outside of technology-enriched classrooms and only on an occasional basis. If supplemental equipment is needed within a classroom on an on-going basis, additional coordination with CIS is necessary. Please carefully review the Audio Visual Equipment Checkout Policy prior to making a reservation.

CIS provides equipment packages that should meet typical usage. If you need additional components (extension cords, network cables, etc.) please indicate this in your media equipment reservation.
