Tech To-Go

So, you want to try some of our cool tech gear? Awesome! We have a few things you'll need to do and remember.

1. Technology Statement of Responsibility- Before checking out any gear you will need to sign the Technology Statement of Responsibility. Each student will need to have this waiver on file, and a new copy must be signed each year, or anytime there is a change in the policy. 
2. Student ID - You must have your OSUIT Student ID with you to check out any Tech Gear.
3. Checkout Slip - You will also be asked to sign a checkout slip, verifying that you know when the gear needs to be returned to the library.
