Equipment Loans

Students borrowing any equipment must present a valid Marianopolis College ID card.
All equipment borrowed must be returned on time.
Bookings must be made in the name of the person who will be picking up the equipment even for a group project. No other member of the group will be permitted to take the equipment unless it is stated ahead of time.
Students are allowed to take certain items home overnight provided they have the proper permission form (which can be picked up at TLT). This form must be signed by your teacher for which the item is needed (stating their name as well as their teacher’s, the name of the item, and the length of time required). These items are considered special loans and must be returned promptly the next day (8:00 a.m.).
