Extenuating Circumstances 

If you require an extension due to extenuating circumstances such as illness, please contact equipmentroom@mohawkcollege.ca before the deadline. Alternative arrangements can be made via email with appropriate notice.

General Expectations

a) Equipment should be transported and kept in protective bags or cases until ready for use. Equipment should be packed properly with any associated accessories when returning to the Equipment Room. 

b) Care should be taken to protect equipment from inclement and extreme weather conditions, including excessive cold and heat.

c) Care should be taken when unpacking/packing equipment. Most loss occurs when items are misplaced or mishandled. Keep all items in protective bags or cases until needed, and items not in use should remain packed.

d) Equipment should be safeguarded at all times. Never leave equipment unattended. Do not leave equipment in your vehicle.

e) In the event of theft, immediately report the incident to Mohawk Security if on campus and the local police department if off-campus. Please keep Equipment Room staff included in/informed of all communications.
