Assistance with AV equipment set up

Instructions and demonstrations are provided for use of AV equipment at time of loan. If you need further assistance please request this when booking equipment.

If you need further information on equipment operation, please refer to the BCIT Knowledge Base for self-help information.

Lending guidelines

While some AV equipment resides in various academic departments, storage rooms and classrooms, the remainder is available for short term loan at no charge. Note that you may need to leave your BCIT ID card and have instructor approval for some equipment bookings.

Lending guidelines are provided for AV equipment loans. Borrowing privileges are restricted to current holders of BCIT ID cards (students, staff and faculty). For more information please visit our Borrowing FAQ page.

Some AV storage areas require a door code for entry to pick-up and return reserved equipment. Please contact the AV Circulation/Help Desk for information on your pick-up location and access instructions.

Location: SE12-104

Reservations for AV equipment are taken on a first come first serve basis.

Note: The AV Services department has limited equipment available in our circulation stock to meet the demand of faculty, staff and students. Long-term or continuous bookings are generally not able to be accommodated.

Some equipment, such as laptops and projectors, are in great demand and thus only available for the length of your class. Use of these items is restricted strictly for the purpose of conducting course-related presentations only.

It is recommended to book your equipment as early as possible, and check with AV Services for instructions and demonstrations before your presentation.

Please contact the AV Services department for questions relating to borrowing equipment.
