Policies
All patrons utilizing this checkout service agree to the terms below.
- Accessory checkout is available in person during open LTS service desk hours.
- Borrowers must be current CSUN students, faculty, or staff, hold a valid CSUN ID, and have no outstanding Library fees.
- Items cannot be reserved and are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
- All checked out items must be returned to the LTS desk on or before the due date/time.
- An item is not considered returned until all components are returned such as charging cables, adapters, cases, etc.
- Only one of each type of item may be checked out at a time per person.
Fees/Holds for Overdue, Lost, or Damaged Items
If you receive an email or other notice that the item you checked out is overdue and/or billed for replacement, immediately return the item to avoid loss of Library checkout privileges, access to the Creative Maker Studio, and a potential Admissions and Records hold.
- If the item is one day overdue, the item will be marked as lost and an automated replacement fee will be billed to your Library account.
- Replacement/repair fees cover the actual cost to repair or replace the kit and/or its components.
- Any replacement/repair fees accrued must be paid to online by credit/debit card using the University Library Fees storefront to avoid loss of Library checkout privileges.
- Unsettled/unpaid fees may result in an A&R hold placed on your CSUN account, preventing registration or obtaining a diploma.
- If a marked lost item is returned after an A&R hold has been placed on your account, you must alert staff on duty of the hold needing removal. Failure to do so may result in a delay in getting the holds removed.
- Otherwise, it may take up to one business day for a hold to be removed from your account after a replacement/repair fee has been paid.

Device Loaner Program
In collaboration with Campus IT, the LTS desk also loans out laptops, tablets, hotspots, headsets, and webcams for semester-long loans for current CSUN students through the Device Loaner Program. Students must request a device through the Portal and schedule an appointment to pick up at the LTS desk.
