Equipment Rental Process

As a student staff member of any publication within UA Student Media, you can check-out equipment for department use. To begin this process, follow these steps.

  1. Email Request

    Send an email to UA Student Media at studentmedia@ua.edu. Include the following information in your email:

    • Name
    • Publication you are a student staff member of
      • (i.e., Alice Magazine, The Crimson White, WVUA-FM radio station, etc.)
    • Equipment you would like to check-out (camera, mic, recorder, etc.)
    • Brief explanation of what you will be using the equipment for
      • (i.e., camera for photo shoot for Alice Magazine; or taking photos of an event for The Crimson White; or an interview for WVUA-FM radio station, etc.)
    • The day(s) and time(s) you would like to check the equipment out
      • (ex: camera on Monday, August 23, 2021 at 10 a.m. and return it on Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 2 p.m.)
      • Please note that equipment is checked out for one-day at a time to ensure that all student staff members have an opportunity to use the equipment. Exceptions do apply and can be discussed at checkout.

  2. Reservation Confirmation

    Once your email is received, your request will be reviewed and if equipment is available, it will be reserved for you for the date(s)/time(s) requested. An email will be sent to you with this information.

  3. Equipment Rental Agreement

    At the beginning of each semester, you will be provided with the Equipment Rental Agreement to read and sign. This will be kept on file for the semester.

  4. Show ID

    When picking up the equipment, you will need to show ID.

  5. Pick Up/Return

    Our office is open Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. In order to fill requests and check over the equipment, we ask that when you need to check-out equipment or when it is being returned, to do so by 4:45 p.m.
