Checkout program (sponsored by USG)

Students can check out umbrellas, iPhone, android, and laptop chargers, and recreation equipment at the Iowa Memorial Union Welcome Center on the 1st floor. Students may rent umbrellas or chargers for a 24-hour period. A flat $25 fee is applied to a student's UBill if the rented charger or umbrella is late, lost, or stolen. Daily fines are charged if not returned.  Students may also check out various recreation equipment (soccer balls, pop-up goals, footballs, flag football set, cones/bases, frisbees/flying discs, volleyballs, horseshoe set, slammo).

Registered student organizations can checkout items for outdoor events. This includes folding tables, tabling kits (clipboards, attendance clicker, pens, tape, baskets) extension cords, sandwich boards, and coolers. Student organizations will be charged the replacement cost for items not returned after 48 hours.

If items are returned with damage due to the item being worn down, there will be no replacement fee. However, if they are returned with damage clearly caused by malicious actions, the student will be fined for the full price of the charger or umbrella.

Welcome Center employees will judge the situation on whether an item was tampered with or purposely damaged, or if it was an existing condition of the item.
