Greetings!

As we arrive at the end of the semester here is an update on equipment packages. The last time to rent equipment will be on the 19th, this means the last day to put in an equipment request in is on the 17th!

All checkouts must be returned by the 22nd of April. That is the last day the MAER is open to the public, we will not be making any exceptions of past due equipment. If you cannot abide by our policies, your next semester privileges will be affected and you will start off with one sanction.

Please coordinate with your professors and crews in order to have an efficient and safe shoot within these last few weeks if necessary! Have a beautiful summer and we will see you next semester!  

Reach out if you have any questions, or come visit us at the MAER! 

Happy Spring! 

The MAER will NOT be open over spring break from March 11th to the 17th. We will resume checkouts and open edits, March 18th. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you all once you get back. 

If you are looking to rent a classroom out for a few hours, please make an appointment through Open Edit, then go to Physical Locations. We will process your request and let you know if you have been approved! If you have any questions please shoot us an email!
