Equipment Loan Policies and Procedures

LAP Equipment Loan Procedure:

• The student meets with LAP Specialist/Counselor to determine eligibility, equipment need and gain approval.
• The student makes a training and loan appointment with the High Technology Instructor.
• The student reads, signs and initials the Equipment Loan Agreement.
• The student will use the equipment for AHC coursework only and only for the students use. 
• The student understands that a very limited inventory of equipment is available on a first-come-first-serve basis for one-time loans to eligible students. 
• Loans are for a maximum of 30 days unless otherwise noted.
• If the equipment is necessary for an ongoing accommodation, the student must acquire their own. 

LAP Equipment Return Policy:

• The student will return the equipment in the condition it was received by the due date.
• The equipment will be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth and the battery fully charged. 
• The student will log off of all accounts and delete all personal information.
• LAP staff will examine the equipment for damages and sign off on the return.

If the Equipment is Damaged, Lost or Stolen:

• The student shall take reasonable precautions to protect the equipment from being damaged, lost or stolen. 
• In cases where the equipment is damaged, lost, or stolen, the student must contact the LAP at 805-922-6966 ext. 3274. 
• If the equipment is stolen, the student must file a police report with the local police and provide the LAP with a copy of the police report. If the theft occurred on campus, the student must also file a report with the AHC Campus Police.  
• Failure to return the equipment, returning the equipment past the due date and/or returning damaged equipment may result in the student being barred from borrowing future equipment, a registration hold and liable to AHC for replacement costs.

Classroom Audio Recording Policy Reminder: 

• The student will inform the instructor of their plan to record. The instructor may ask the student to complete the LAP's Student/Instructor Classroom Audio Recording Agreement.
