Loan Periods

Regular Loans: Most production equipment are two (2) days in duration. For example, a loan beginning on a Monday is due back on Wednesday.

Day Loans: Certain equipment like laptops, adapters, computer accessories as well as classroom presentation equipment are for day-loan use only and are due back before the campus closes for the night. Chargers are available for 3-hour loans only.

Weekend Loans: If the return day of a regular loan falls on a weekend or a holiday, then the return day automatically moves to the next work day.

Extended loans: Extended loan periods may be requested and subject for approval. Do not use WCO Patron Portal for Extended Loans. Instead, email your request at least one (1) week in advance together with the details of your project to mediaresources@ecuad.ca. Click here for detailed instructions.

Renewals: Loans can be renewed in person or by calling us at least a day before your scheduled return. Renewal is subject to availability. If unavailable, Borrower must be prepared to return equipment on or before equipment is due. No renewals over email. Renewals are not allowed if equipment is already late.

Unless stated differently on your confirmation email, return equipment no later than 12:00pm of the day the equipment is due. For example, a booking ending on a Wednesday must return equipment on or before 12:00pm of that day. Equipment returned beyond scheduled return time is considered late.
