EQUIPMENT CHECKOUT
Wright State faculty and staff may check out media equipment from the CaTS Classroom Technology Support office located in 017 Dunbar Library. Students can also check out equipment, but must have faculty/staff approval to do so.
This page describes checkout procedures and lists available equipment.
CaTS also offers delivery of media equipment to any Registrar-scheduled class in the class's Registrar-scheduled room. Learn more on the
Equipment Delivery page.

Client Responsibility
Service fees for labor and equipment are not assessed for equipment that is checked out through the CaTS Classroom Technology Support office. However, equipment picked up at the Service Desk becomes the responsibility of the patron until returned to the CaTS. Financial responsibility for equipment that is lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged while checked out will rest with the patron. The amount of financial responsibility for lost, stolen or destroyed items will be the replacement cost of said items. The amount of financial responsibility for damaged items will be the cost of parts and labor necessary to repair said the items.
