As we approach the end of winter quarter, we would like to take a moment to review our current operations and the process for returning STLP equipment.
Returns
All STLP equipment must be returned the week of March 17th, 2025. Students may review the scheduled return date of their equipment loan at any time by visiting the My Bookings page. For return date questions or concerns, please text 206-685-6090.
In addition to being returned on time, all equipment must be returned to the same STLP office location from which it was originally checked out. Students returning equipment to the incorrect office location will receive a seven (7) day restriction of their borrowing privileges – this restriction is applied effective the first day of the student’s next quarter of enrollment.
Office Hours & Locations
STLP office locations are open to accept equipment returns as follows:
- Health Sciences (HSI) map: Monday – Friday; 8:30am – 2:30pm
- Husky Union Building (HUB) map: Monday – Friday; 3:00pm – 7:00pm
- Kane Hall (KNE) map: Monday – Friday; 8:00am – 5:00pm
Courtesy Extensions
During autumn, winter, and spring academic quarters, all equipment must be returned no later than the Tuesday of finals week. Students requiring equipment after that deadline may request a courtesy extension as late as the Friday of finals week.
Courtesy extensions will only be considered for equipment previously scheduled to be returned on Monday or Tuesday of finals week and must be submitted by completing the STLP Contact Form at least seven (7) days prior to the last day of the current academic quarter. Courtesy extension requests must be submitted no later than 5:00pm on Friday, March 14th, 2025. All requests submitted after this deadline will be denied.
Shipping*
Students who previously had equipment shipped to their address or those who are otherwise unable to return their equipment in person, may request a prepaid return shipping label by completing the STLP Contact Form.
Shipping requests for enrolled students will not be accepted after 5:00pm on Tuesday, March 18th, 2025 and all return shipments must be dropped off at a UPS location by 5:00pm on Friday, March 21st, 2025. *Not all equipment items are eligible for shipping – ineligible items must be returned in person.
Break Requests
Requests for equipment loans which span a quarterly break period must be submitted by completing the STLP Contact Form at least seven (7) days prior to the last day of the current academic quarter. Requests must be related to UW academic, instructional and/or research activities and are subject to adviser/faculty verification. At the discretion of the program, requests are approved based on demonstration of an approved use as well as equipment availability.
Equipment must be returned by the scheduled return date, at the beginning of the next academic quarter, before making a new reservation for the same equipment type. Break Requests must be submitted no later than 5:00pm on Friday, March 14th, 2025. All requests submitted after this time will be denied.
Note: With exception to Academic Student Employees (ASEs), requests related to employment will not be accepted.
STLP does not offer equipment loan extensions or renewals. All equipment loaned during winter quarter must be returned by the scheduled return date during the week of March 17th, 2025. STLP anticipates opening online equipment reservations for spring quarter by 12:00 pm (noon) on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025.
