How do I check stuff out?

Equipment is available for check out weekdays from 8am to 4pm from the TransNow office located in More Hall 129. Students will be asked to fill out a checkout form which includes a brief description of the activity that the checked out equipment will support. Please be as accurate as possible when filling out the form. TransNow relies on this information to ensure funds are allocated appropriately to purchase future equipment and keep our software inventory up-to-date.
