Equipment scheduling and cancelation
Users must reserve the equipment using the online scheduler prior to using the equipment.
Users can only reserve time for themselves; booking on behalf of other users is NOT permitted.
If users need the time beyond their reservation, users are required to extend the reservation using the online scheduler.
Users are not allowed to use another user's session. If users cannot make their session, they must cancel their session and allow the other users to reserve a session under their name.
Cancel your session 24 hours before the start of the reservation to minimize no-shows and allow other users to book and use the equipment during their canceled session.

Equipment problems
Users are required to report equipment problems immediately to the facility director, emmf@unr.edu.
Users should never attempt to repair the equipment themselves.
