Equipment Policy
All field equipment located in the B-1 Equipment Room was purchased with student lab fees and therefore is to be used only for student instruction. However, field equipment is not available to individual students. Equipment must be signed-out by a faculty, staff or TA for each lab and/or special project. Faculty are responsible for replacing lost and/or damaged equipment assigned to them

Field equipment for research should be purchased with grant funds. However, if equipment is available, it may be signed-out for local use and for a limited time only until new equipment can be purchased.
