By receiving Sheridan’s rental equipment for your program and year of study, you, as the “Renter” (whose name appears in the Rented To field on the Rental Contract) are responsible for keeping the equipment in working order when accepting a rental, and the Renter is responsible for safeguarding the transport and storage of the equipment in their possession both on or off campus and may be held liable for damage or loss of equipment.
Important policy reminders:
- The Renter is solely responsible for the equipment stated in the Rental Contract—the Renter must be present at time of pick up and return
- The Renter will not hand off or share Sheridan equipment with other students or persons
- The Renter will not store rental equipment unattended in an unsecured location (e.g., cars or other vehicles, including rental vehicles)
- The Renter may not leave the province of Ontario with any Sheridan equipment without explicit written permission
- The Renter will use Sheridan equipment for curriculum-based assignments and projects only, and may not use equipment for personal projects
- The Renter will report damaged, lost/stolen equipment immediately to their Sheridan Equipment Rental Centre
- The Renter must return all equipment in full on or before the stated return/check-in date and time or risk lossing rental priviledges
- The Renter must inform their equipment centre if they expect to be late, and may be granted a return extension – more information here, https://equipmentroom.sheridanc.on.ca/strikes-extensions/
- If the Renter withdraws from a program or course all rental equipment in their name must be returned to Sheridan College as soon as possible
If the Renter fails to return loaned equipment for any reason within 30 days of the stated return/check-in date or fails to return loaned equipment by the end of the current term this would violate Sheridan’s Student Equipment Rental Policies (Equipment Loan Policies for Students.pdf). As a result, per the Office of the Registrar, the replacement value will be added to the Renter’s Sheridan financial account and a Registration Hold will be applied against their student account—this may cause an interruption in obtaining transcripts, diplomas, certificates or degrees and enrolling for subsequent terms. Prolonged unpaid fees will be forwarded to an external Debt Collection Agency.
