All equipment is picked up from the Media Lab.  The Media Lab is located in Andersen L1008, which is inside of the Andersen General Access Lab.  Remember to bring your UW-Whitewater HawkCard with you when you pick up your equipment.  You will not be able to pick up your equipment without a valid UW-Whitewater HawkCard.

When you arrive at the Media Lab, simply tell the Media Lab Attendant that you have an AV Checkout reservation to pick up. They will then review the equipment with you, have you sign a digital copy of the receipt and you will receive an email with confirmation of the pick up.  That's it!

Before returning your equipment, make sure all associated items are put back in their cases and everything is properly functioning. For cameras and camcorders, make sure that you have saved a copy of any pictures or video footage. All devices are reformatted during the equipment checking process.

When you arrive at the Media Lab, hand the equipment to the Media Lab Attendant. If you would like to wait while your equipment is checked in, please inform the Media Lab Attendant. Otherwise, we will notify you via email if anything is missing or malfunctioning. Once the equipment is checked in, you will receive an automatically generated email notification.
