One pool is the ongoing loan pool for DSC (Design and Social Context) students and staff. To be eligible for loans from this pool, you must be either a student or staff member of any of the DSC schools and have with you your current student or staff ID. Student ID s that have expired will not be accepted under any circumstances. The other pool is our RMIT General loan pool. Staff and students from any school can borrow equipment from this pool at any time. Except for Data Projectors and Computers all equipment from AVTS is loaned on a 24 hour basis, with loans required back by the next business day at 10:00 AM. Projectors and Computers are for presentations only and are strictly same day only loans due back at no later then 4:30 PM on the day. Late Returns Please note that if returning equipment late you will be banned for a period of time from borrowing any further equipment from us. Length of bans depend on length of lateness. One day late is equal to one month ban. This is to ensure that everyone receives a fair chance of borrowing equipment and not having to miss out because someone has not returned their loan on time. Remember late returns could make someone else miss out on getting their work done on time too.
Book ahead! To help make sure you get the equipment you need when you need it, you can book ahead at the desk or by email or phone as per the details above.
