Equipment Rental

Students, faculty and staff with a valid Nautilus Card, as well as community members with an active HLS membership, can check equipment out. To rent equipment, bring your valid Nautilus Card or membership number to the Rec Center, Building 72, at the downstairs Service Desk and tell the staff what kind of equipment you would like to check-out.


Please note: We offer high-quality gear to rent out to our patrons. If the equipment is returned damaged or not returned at all, you will be charged to replace the item. Please ensure that you take good care of the equipment you rent.

Rental Agreements and Policies

Reservations

We are unable to take reservations for equipment.

Rental Agreement

Renters must complete and submit the rental agreement form before receiving their requested items. This form can be completed on-site in the Rec Center. 

Group rentals: Groups must designate one point-person to sign the rental agreement who will be responsible for lost or damaged equipment. 

Penalty Fees

Fees will be charged to the responsible party’s university account if the equipment is not returned on time, returned damaged, or returned excessively dirty. Repair, replacement and cleaning fees are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Administrative Staff. Equipment that is returned late will be subject to late fees accrued daily up to the amount of the replacement cost. Individuals who fail to follow rental procedures will become ineligible to rent equipment in the future.
