Reservable Resources

The following items may be reserved for class use. To reserve these items, faculty should send an e-mail to with the following information:

• Name of the Class with CSCI number identifier
• Start and end date of reservation
• Max number of days a student may reserve an item
• Number of units to reserve
• Maximum reservations per student
• Who can reserve an item, i.e. the entire class or provide a list of a subset of students from the class

The operator on duty will then set up a reservation for your class. The student can then stop by the operator office in EE/CS 1-213 with a photo ID and pick-up the equipment that he/she reserved.
