Lending and Borrowing College Equipment Policy

This Policy and related procedures governs the borrowing of College equipment by students and employees at Vancouver Community College (VCC; the College). VCC departments can choose to allow students and employees to borrow equipment from their department. Departments must inform the borrower of the terms of use. Equipment is loaned in such a way to reduce the risk to the College from loss or damage.

This policy applies to VCC students and employees.

1. To support the education, research, and activities of students and employees at the College, departments can make equipment available to be borrowed.


2. The equipment is loaned primarily for College-related use, such as in- and out-of-classroom learning, study, or presentations.


3. Departments will establish written terms of use for their loaner equipment, available to a borrower prior to lending the equipment.


4. The borrower will take due care to ensure the safety and condition of the item(s).


5. The borrower is responsible for becoming familiar with the proper operation of the equipment.
