A broad range of services is available to support UC Santa Barbara faculty, staff, and student community. While many services are offered at no cost to support instruction, all services are also available on a cost-recovery, recharge basis for broader institutional needs.
- When equipment such as computers, recorders, projectors, etc., is needed for administrative, student or general institutional activities, the equipment can be rented, as available, on an hourly or daily basis at current recharge rates.
- A webpage will be maintained with the current rate schedule.
- Services are available to off-campus clients; however, an additional percentage will be charged for overhead.
- If an operator is needed, the department involved shall pay for the operator labor cost at the current recharge labor rate.
- An appropriate budget number must be supplied in advance of service.
- Equipment may be authorized for use by Registered Campus Organizations.
- An officer of the student group must assume full fiscal responsibility for the equipment.
- Failure to pay for lost or damaged equipment in 60 days or less may result in the student organization losing its registered status.
- When instructional users, as listed in the Schedule of Classes, cancel services, the cancellation will be reviewed to determine payment for rental costs.
- When non-instructional users cancel services, the requestor will be liable for all charges related to equipment, supplies, and labor involved in preparation, rehearsal, performance, and clean-up when a production or presentation is canceled. Charges for materials, including media, and charges for personnel will be made at current recharge rates.
- Equipment that has been rented will be the responsibility of the renter from the time it is checked out until it is checked in at the issuing office.
- Equipment delivered to a location on campus will be the responsibility of the borrower until picked up by a member of staff. When loss, theft, or damage occurs, the borrower shall be liable to provide funds that will be used to repair the damaged component or purchase a new piece of equipment.
