The IML Equipment Checkout provides CIA faculty and staff with access to media production equipment in support of academic, creative, and approved independent work. Equipment Checkout is operated by IML staff and student employees and is subject to availability, training requirements, and established procedures. 

All IML equipment is the property of Cleveland Institute of Art and must be treated with care. 

Faculty and staff are responsible for: 

• Proper use and handling of equipment 

• Keeping equipment secure while checked out 

• Returning equipment in the same condition in which it was issued. 

• Equipment may not be modified, repaired, or altered by users. 

Equipment reservations may be made online up to two business days, subject to availability. Walk-up checkouts are permitted but subject to availability. Items may be renewed for up to three additional business days if not reserved by another user. After the renewal limit, items must be returned and re-checked out. 

Extended Loan Options 

Extended loan periods may be approved for class projects, institutional events, designated academic periods such as Spring Show, BFA Week, and summer programs.
