It is Multimedia Services' policy to provide multimedia equipment for checkout to the faculty, staff, alumni, and attending students of The Citadel.

1. Reservations should be made at least one week in advance.
   
2. Reservations have priority over walk-ins.
   
3. Laptops (and projectors) may be borrowed for the following purposes:
   • When faculty and staff are traveling away from campus on Citadel business and a computer is needed.
     Examples: conferences, presentations, and computer-based competitions
   • When faculty, staff, and students need to make a presentation on campus, and a multimedia classroom is not available.
     
4. Laptops are not available for personal use in the barracks, the office, at home, or away games.
   
5. No more than three sets of laptops and projectors may be checked out by a patron at one time, even if they are part of an event, such as a conference.
   
6. The equipment must be returned by the agreed upon time and due date, unless other arrangements have been made and noted on the checkout form.
   
7. If they are not able to return the equipment on time, or if there is a problem with the equipment, they must contact Multimedia Services at (843) 953-5274 as soon as possible.
