As the end of spring quarter approaches, please take a moment to review STLP operations and the process for returning your equipment loan.
Equipment items may be returned anytime on or before the scheduled return date. With high volumes expected on Tuesday, June 10th and Friday, June 13th, please consider returning your equipment loan prior to the scheduled return date and/or during morning operating hours. For walking directions and hours of operation, please visit the Locations page.
STLP does not offer equipment loan extensions or renewals. All equipment loaned during spring quarter must be returned by the scheduled return date during the week of June 9th, 2025. STLP anticipates opening online equipment reservations for summer quarter by 12:00 pm (noon) on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025.
Returns
All STLP equipment must be returned the week of June 9th, 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.
