Reservations made on the day of requested check out will be processed at the discretion of the Office of Student Productions Manager.
Upon receiving your reservation confirmation, please come to the check out at Old Union on the day of your reservation during open hours.
If your plans change and you need to cancel your reservation, please do so as soon as possible to open the opportunity to borrow the equipment for other students. Cancel reservations by emailing OfficeofStudentProductions@stanford.edu.
NOTE: If you do not cancel a reservation by the day before the reservation date and do not pick up your items twice in one quarter, you will not be allowed to use the lending library for the rest of the current quarter and the following quarter.
Return items on time! All items are due on specified day/time! While the OSP/ASSU doesn’t want to penalize students, OSP/ASSU needs to ensure that equipment is back for the next reservation. If you need more time, please contact us atOfficeofStudentProductions@stanford.edu and we will check if the equipment is reserved. If not, OSP/ASSU will be happy to extend your reservation. Please be sure to check in for every item you borrowed – the items might have different reservation schedules.
NOTE: If you return items late even once without contacting us, you will not be allowed to use the lending library for the rest of the current quarter and the following quarter.
