How to rent gear
Gear rental goes much more smoothly when you check with us in advance! We might be planning a college outing that limits the gear available to drop-in users.
For Gear Rentals: Email the Wellness Center before submitting your gear rental request, so we can check our gear inventory.
Step 1: Submit a rental request. (Link opens in new tab.)
You’ll be sent an email confirming your request.
Step 2: Print your confirmation email
Step 3: Visit the Wellness Center in G114 (by appointment only)
Bring your printed copy of the confirmation email to retrieve your rentals!*
Stop by to complete paperwork, get fitted for your gear and get help with your adventure trip plans.
*Faculty and staff need to visit Student Central first to make payment.
Returns
Return your rentals the next day the Wellness Center office is Open (for example, rent on a Thursday, return the following Tuesday.)
