Students MUST make a reservation. If they have not made a reservation, they will be asked to come back during our walk-in hours or make an order to pick up the next day. Reservations MUST be made 12-hours in advance (e.g. if you make your order at 10pm, the earliest you'll be able to pick up is 10am the next day).Ìý

Sometimes, assignments spring up last minute. If a student wants to check out equipment without a reservation, they are only allowed to do so during our Walk-in Hours. Any other times, the student will be told to come back during walk-ins, or to make a reservation for the next day.Ìý

It's HIGHLY encouraged that students make a reservation in advance to ensure equipment availability. The Kage will not make an order on the student's behalf, however, we will walk you through how to make one if it's your first time.Ìý

The Kage has two locations: The Kage in Atlas, and The Bunker in Macky. Each of these locations have different operational hours. . Please reference the tables below for specific times.

Students can rent gear for a maximum of 48 hours during the week. or a maximum of 96 hours if they're reserving equipment over the weekend. For example, a student can reserve Thursday-Monday, or Friday-Tuesday.Ìý

Reservations longer than the maximum time allowed must be approved by the Cinema Media Manager, Analog Specialist or Lab Coordinator. To request an extension the student must email thekage@colorado.edu at least 24 hours in advance from their original return time.Ìý

A request does not mean an automatic extension.Ìý

Many of our policies still apply to graduate students. This includes the reservation process, and how to request an extension.Ìý

Graduate students may request an extended loan for a particular piece of equipment. This would allow them to use that equipment for an entire year, rather than a few days at a time.Ìý

Extended loans must be, and can ONLY be approved by the Cinema Media Manager.Ìý

*Know that if you request an extended loan, the Kage may ask for you to return the equipment for short periods throughout the semester so that the item can be used for a class. You will be notified of this a minimum of a week in advance from when the class needs the equipment.Ìý
