Requests

  • If it is a walk-in requestor:

    • Verbally inform the requestor that if the device is not returned by the due date, then they will be charged a fee of $5 to their Quest Account and allow them to read over this link detailing ACO’s loan agreement.

  • If it is an email requestor:

    • Send the requestor an email informing them of the $5 fee and a copy of this link for them to read over prior to pick-up.

Only inform students of the fee, not staff or faculty.
