Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use loaner equipment and support for events at my conference?

In principle, the services provided by this support office are intended to support "classes" at the College.

The Support Office cannot make a decision about whether or not to support events at conferences that are not under the control of the College. Please contact the Academic Affairs Section first.

Are loaner equipment and support available on weekends, holidays, and after 6:00 p.m. on weekdays?

As a rule, the support office provides services only during the opening hours of the office, and cannot provide support on weekends, holidays, nights, or early mornings.

For classes and events on weekends and holidays, please request support from the Support Office after setting up a separate rehearsal or other arrangements. Our staff will be present at the rehearsal to show you how to operate the system.

Equipment can be rented for multiple days, as long as you consult with us in advance and there are no other reservations. If you wish to use the equipment on weekends or holidays, please consult with us in advance to pick it up on a weekday or leave it at the guard room.

However, depending on the quantity of loaned equipment, we may not be able to meet your request.

Can I use equipment loans or support for extracurricular activities or club activities for which I serve as an advisor?

Extracurricular activities may be supported by the Support Office if the activity is recognized as part of the "undergraduate and graduate education" of the University. (For difficult cases, please consult with the Student Affairs Section and the Academic Affairs Section.)

For university-approved "circle activities" and "club activities," the Student Affairs Section can lend out equipment. For equipment not stocked by the Student Affairs Division (e.g., wireless microphones in Prometheus Hall), the Support Office may provide loaner equipment, support, and liaison coordination, but please consult with the Student Affairs Division first.

Is it possible to have students pick up and return loaned equipment?

Students may pick up and return loaned equipment for class use if instructed to do so by the instructor in charge of the class. Students who come to pick up equipment on behalf of their teachers will be asked for the teacher's full name, the classroom used, the time of day, and the scheduled return time.

Is it possible to use only students?

This service is not available for students only. For support for students, please contact the TUFS Academic Support Center (TUFSAPO) or the Student Affairs Division.
