Students can only borrow the School’s AV equipment for study-related purpose. Personal
and commercial uses are strictly
prohibited. Priorities will be given to
students taking
equipment-based courses.
For account activation, please complete online
registration with your student ID at
http://ebooking.com.cuhk.edu.hk/ and then go to CML 209 in person with
your CU Link
Card and a deposit of HK$300.
Once the account is activated, students can
reserve AV equipment through the above online
booking system, and then collect the
items in
person in CML 209 during
working hours

Monday to Friday from 9:15am to 12:30pm, 2:15pm to 5pm)

Equipment is on loan
for three days. Students may renew the loan
period for a maximum of
two times. If the items are requested by other students, however, the renewal will
not be
granted.
Please return the loan item(s) punctually and take good care of the equipment. The penalty
for late return is HK$10 per
day for each item. For
example, if a student borrows 3 items
at one time and returns late by 2 days, the
penalty will be 3 x HK$10 x 2days = HK$60. The
penalty will be debited directly from the deposit without prior notice. If the deposit level
falls below HK$100, students will be notified
by email to top up the amount. Otherwise, the
account will be suspended for
booking/on-loan service. In addition to the
penalty, a
one-week suspension of loan
accounts will
be implemented if students return
loan item(s) late by 3 days or
more.

The deposit, after deducting the penalty (if any),
can be refunded to students within a month
in the end of every semester. Major students can
also retain their accounts and deposit
throughout their studies in the School. Students
must clear their debts (if any) before
graduation. The School reserves the right to
review and adjust the amount of the deposit.
In principle, advanced
video cameras are reserved
for students taking production courses of
senior level. Due to the limited supply, the
School will not guarantee that all eligible
students are able to borrow the advanced video cameras successfully. Please do reserve the
equipment in advance.

are not
allowed to make reservations on behalf of others

account holder needs
to take full responsibility of any booking under the
account. For any
loss or damage, the account holder will be charged
the cost of repair or replacement.
