Borrowing Multimedia Equipment

ETS loans audio-visual and multimedia equipment for use outside your regular classroom setup. Here's how reservations, pickup and return work.


Reserve ahead

  • Place your reservation at least 24 hours in advance so we can confirm your request.
  • Borrowing on a Monday? Place your request no later than the previous Thursday.
  • Request equipment at helpdesk.fhda.edu or by calling (408) 864-8324.

Pickup and return

Equipment must be picked up and returned by you personally — not by a student.

Return Location

  • Foothill: Technical Services, room FH 5800
  • De Anza: Technical Services, room LCW 124

How long can I keep it?

Depending on the type of equipment, you can schedule multimedia equipment for up to two weeks at a time.

Can't return it on time? Let us know — call the ETS Call Center at (408) 864-8324 so we can adjust the reservation.


Equipment problems during an event or class

If borrowed or classroom equipment fails while you're using it, see Classroom quick fixes, or call (408) 864-8324 and press 2 (working hours) or 3 (after hours) — and always leave a contact number.
