Daily Loans of Classroom Technology
General Information
Faculty and Full-Time Staff members have inherent permission to borrow equipment and may do so online at any time by visiting the link below. Logging in with your NetID and Password will be required.
To do so, visit the WebCheckout Patron Portal.
- For assistance in selecting the proper Service Counter and how to use the Patron Portal, view our documentation below.
Requests for equipment can also be made in person from our service locations in Frey Hall, Health Sciences Center (HSC), or Javits Lecture Center.
- Equipment from Frey and the HSC can only be used in those locations. Javits can provide equipment for other locations on campus as well as Javits itself.
Please note that all authorizations expire at the end of the Semester/Session that the class is being taught, unless specifically noted for a longer time frame.
- Authorizations are only valid for the equipment requested and others at equal or lesser monetary value.
- New authorizations will be required for higher value equipment.
Equipment is generally released for the duration of a class or academic event with consideration of the time required to set it up and break it down.
Equipment borrowed must be returned to the Checkout Center it is requested from, and all designees will be asked to present their University ID card. In order to ensure no delays in delivery of service, please submit reservations a minimum of 24 hours in advance before the pickup time.
Reservations are not confirmed until they appear as approved in your Patron Portal account and/or you receive a confirmation email from Classrooms@stonybrook.edu.
Please continue to the section below for information on how to grant access to reserve, or reserve equipment on behalf of, a non-faculty, non-full-time student staff member.
For TA's, Teaching Graduates, Ph.D. Candidates, or Undergrad Students
If you are a teaching assistant, teaching graduate, Ph.D. candidate, or undergraduate student, you can borrow equipment by one of two methods outlined below:
- Option 1: A reservation can be made on your behalf by a Faculty or Full-Time staff member by having them log onto the Patron Portal (WebCheckout Patron Portal) and adding the the person's name and SBU ID# as an authorization to release. This information should be added as a “note to Checkout Center” during the reservation process.
- Option 2: You may be granted access to the Patron Portal, allowing you to create your own equipment reservations online or in-person.
If you would like to take advantage of Option 2, please send this link to your full-time advising staff or faculty member or other representative. They will need to fill it out on your behalf.
