Rental Equipment

The Media Center provides a variety of rental equipment for class and personal projects. Items may be rented by current DTS students, staff, and faculty.

The rental period is for two days at a time with items due back at noon on the return date. Since the Media Center is not open on Sundays, Friday rentals are due back on Monday. Reservations are recommended. Some of the most popular items are reserved months in advance. Most items range in price from $5.00 to $20.00 for the two-day rental period.

If an item is rented for two consecutive rental periods, the third period is free. This means that an item checked out on Friday could be returned the following Friday at noon for the cost of two rental periods. Just be sure to note this on the reservation calendar so that no late fees are assessed. Plan to spend at least 15 minutes checking items out since there will be paper work to complete.

Reservations can be made by calling the help desk at (214) 887-5285, emailing mediacenter@dts.edu, or stopping in at the Media Center.
