Items cannot be borrowed on behalf of another person, and may only be returned by the person who originally borrowed them.
All items must be returned no later than the assigned due date and time to the same location they were borrowed from (for example: devices borrowed from the 4th floor lockers must be returned to the lockers).
All items are in working order at the time they are borrowed and must be returned in the same working condition in order to avoid replacement costs.
Applications or software cannot be installed on weekly and 24-hour laptops. See Software Available for a list of software installed on library laptops.

You may install applications and software on a semester laptop, and you can restart it or shut it down at any time without losing any data. The data will not be deleted until the device is returned, at which time it will be returned to its original state.

Every app you install or download on an iPad will stay on the iPad until you return it.
You must remove your Apple iCloud account and passcode before returning the device. The item cannot be removed from your library account until this is done.
Any SCS devices added to Apple’s “Find My” service must be removed from Find My before returning it. Otherwise, the devices cannot be checked in and you could be liable for replacement costs.

If you do not return items on time, you will be charged the replacement costs, and a hold may be placed on your academic record prohibiting you from registering for classes and receiving grades, transcripts, and diplomas.
