Equipment Check-out Policy

Faculty and students of the College of Education with a valid University of Montevallo I.D. may checkout available audio-visual equipment through the Malone Curriculum Center.  The highest priority for use of this equipment is to support classroom instruction in the College of Education.  All other uses are subject to equipment availability.

Persons checking out this equipment assume responsibility for exercising care to protect items from theft, loss, or damage and to return equipment as scheduled.  The University of Montevallo holds borrowers accountable for the value of the equipment.  Financial responsibility for the replacement or repair in case of negligent damage or loss rests fully with the individual who checked-out the equipment.  The Dean of the College of Education will make the final determination of negligence and associated repair or replacement costs.

Repeated failure to return equipment on time or in its condition at the time of checkout will result in barring the customer from future checkout privileges.

When checking-out computer or computer-equipped multimedia carts, the following special conditions apply:  No software applications may be installed or removed from the computer's hard drive without prior approval of the Coordinator of Instructional Technology.  No modifications of any type may be made to the system software.

We hope these checkout procedures improve our service and lead to fewer conflicts regarding availability of equipment.
