How to apply for equipment rental

We recommend that you come to our office to apply for the loaner equipment, as you can select the equipment while viewing the actual equipment.
There are several patterns, including a fixed weekly subscription loan.

Various patterns of equipment rental

Same-day loan (return by 18:00 on the same day)

  • Equipment can be rented out as early as 8:15 AM at the earliest, with prior application.
  • If you wish to borrow books on a regular weekly basis, please let our staff know when you return them.
  • Please return by 18:00 on the same day.

Scheduled loan (fixed weekly)

  • We will prepare the same equipment every week according to the day and time of the class.

  • Please return by 18:00 on the same day.

short-term loan

  • Short-term loans may be available for a few days to a week.
  • Equipment may not be available for loan depending on availability, frequency of use, first-come, first-served reservations, and other factors. Please contact us as soon as possible.

long-term loan

  • As a general rule, equipment loaned out by the Support Office is not available for extended periods of time. Please make your own arrangements for equipment that you will need to have on hand on an ongoing basis.
  • However, we may allow you to borrow the materials if you have unavoidable circumstances related to class preparation. Please contact us if you have any problems.

Installation of decks in classrooms

  • A DVD/Blu-ray/VHS or other deck can be installed in your designated classroom for the duration of the semester in which classes are held.
  • The number of DVD/Blu-ray/VHS decks is being phased out as video and audio are increasingly played on PCs. Please consult with us when it is easier to conduct classes with decks.
  • Installation may not be possible due to deck availability, first-come, first-served reservations, etc. Please contact us as soon as possible.
