Check Out Policies

Please note the following policies when checking out gear from SIRA:

  • SIRA only issues reserved gear through scheduled appointments. If you come by without an appointment or miss your scheduled appointment, SIRA cannot ensure that the office will be staffed by an employee who can get you gear within a timely manner.
  • SIRA will accept only checks (made payable to SU) for equipment deposits; no cash please.
  • Gear must be returned by 3:30pm on the Monday following a weekend checkout, unless arrangements for a later return are made in advance.
  • SIRA will not accept any gear that is returned excessively dirty. SIRA will not return your deposit until the equipment has been properly cleaned by you.
  • SIRA recommends that wet gear be air-dried before it is packed into the stuff sack to avoid mold growth.
  • SIRA also recommends that no candles, lanterns, heaters, or any other fire hazards be brought inside tents (No smoking please) as it creates a substantial fire risk.
  • If gear is returned in a satisfactory state, SIRA will return the deposit in full via campus mail.
  • SIRA reserves the right to assess fees for loss/damage appropriate to the retail replacement cost of the gear.
