Reserving Equipment
SU students, SU staff and faculty may reserve equipment up to two weeks in advance; four days in advance. We do not currently rent to alumni, nor non-SU persons. To reserve equipment, renters must complete and sign the Rental Agreement form and pay the entire rental fee at the time of reservation. A full refund will be issued if a reservation is canceled at least 48 hours in advance of the check out date.

Returning Equipment
Due Dates and Late Fees*
All equipment is due on the date specified on the Rental Agreement Form, and must be checked into the OAR office by the posted hours of the due date.
*An immediate fee of $20 will be charged upon late return of any gear. For each additional day the gear is returned late, a $1 per day, per item fee will accrue. (Ex. An item was due Monday but was returned Wednesday. the fee would be $22.00).
Damage and Replacement Fees
If any part of OAR equipment is damaged, lost, and/or rendered permanently unusable, the charge is equivalent to the replacement value of the entire item (see rental prices for replacement costs). If a part is broken or lost and can be replaced, the cost of the part will be assigned as a damage fee. Renters will be contacted within a week with the total fee amount. Fee's must be paid within 5 business days or student account holds and faculty/staff deposits will be utilized, as per policy, to ensure payment.
Cleaning Fee
People who return excessively dirty or wet equipment will be charged a cleaning fee appropriate to the offense. The cleaning fee will vary, and we retain a maximum charge of $20 per item. Renters are strongly encouraged to clean off and DRY ALL rented equipment items.
Student Account Holds
If gear is not returned on the specified return date or damage/cleaning fees go unpaid, the renter will be contacted via email and a financial hold will be placed on their SU student account. This hold will be for the full amount including any cleaning, damage, replacement, and/or late charges the student has accrued up to this point. Renters cannot register for classes until the hold is lifted from their account.
To Lift Holds:Pay the fee in full to the OAR office. Once paid the hold will be cleared and taken off your account promptly.
