Policies

The Media Teaching Centre (MTC) has a number of policies to ensure equipment availability and the responsible booking of equipment and facilities:

EQUIPMENT HIRE

• You will be unable to book items of equipment without prior training and/or authorisation from the MTC.
• Equipment is only to be used by Brunel Students and Staff and only for academic, research or professional development. 
• Equipment is available for 7 days loans, with one online renewal allowed (except lighting kits - 7 days only)
• All equipment must be booked within the timeframe allocated by Connect 2. 
• Memory cards and batteries are included with relevant equipment, but there is no guarantee batteries will be charged.
• If uncollected, bookings will automatically be cancelled after 1 hour of the requested collection time.
• When returning equipment there is no one hour window, it must be returned before the end time. 
• All bookings are subject to a late return fine of £5 per day inc. weekends and closed days if the return time has expired.
• No bookings can be made by users with an outstanding late returns fine.
• Proof of mitigating circumstances will be required to waiver any late returns.
• Any negligence of equipment will result in a user being suspended and charged for any damage/loss etc.
• Any payment for damage/loss will be capped at £50 by the MTC, however your College/Dept. may pursue you for further costs.
• Any fines/payments that are not cleared within 1 months will be passed to the finance dept. with an added admin charge.
• Accidental damage, loss or theft must be reported to the MTC within 24 hours; if equipment has been stolen a Police crime reference number must be provided.
• To ensure fair access for all users, excessive use of equipment that negatively impacts the availability of resources for others, such as consistently monopolising high-demand items, may result in the modification or cancellation of your bookings.

EDIT SUITE HIRE

• All edit suite bookings must be made 1 hours in advance.
• Edit suite bookings will be cancelled after 1 hour if not in use, you will not be able to access an edit suite until the next available session. 
• Any negligent use of facilities will result in users being suspended and charged for any damage/loss.
• No personal hard drives / usb sticks can be used in the edit suite without prior approval from the MTC.
