The Center for Student Involvement offers a variety of equipment available for checkout to students. This includes equipment that Registered Student Organizations can use at their events and meetings. 

To reserve any equipment that's listed below, students can complete one of two processes: 

1) Book in person: Visit the front desk of the Center for Student Involvement in the University YMCA Student Center, room UWY 107. A Student Center Coordinator will assist you with the checkout process.

2) Book online: The CSI staff use Connect2 to manage the office's equipment inventory and process checkouts. Sign into https://uwtcsi.getconnect2.com/ using your UW NetID, search for the equipment you need, and reserve it for a future date. You will still need to visit UWY 107 to retrieve your items, but staff will be able to help you immediately without processing your paperwork.

Reserving Equipment

Due to limited supply, we strongly encourage RSOs to reserve equipment ahead of the date it's needed. To reserve equipment, use our online booking system Connect2, or simply stop by in person to have our staff process your reservation. If you're unsure if a piece of equipment is in our inventory, ask us! Write the Center for Student Involvement Front Desk at uwtsi@uw.edu, or call 253-692-4481. 

Please be prepared to provide the following information:

  • Which item(s) you need
  • The quantity of the item(s)
  • What day/time you will pick the items up
  • What day/time you plan to return the items
  • Your RSO's name
  • Your name, email, and student ID number

All items must be picked up by the person whose name is on the reservation.

General Guidelines

  • All equipment must be returned by the agreed-upon return time determined at the time of check-out
  • Some items will require a signature on a terms and agreement form before the items can be checked out
  • Damage to or failure to return any item can result in the replacement cost of the item(s) being charged to the individual and/or RSO

A-Frames

A-frames are weighted, self-standing signs used for street advertising. The Center for Student Involvement's A-frames are large enough to accommodate a 24" x 36" (portrait/vertical orientation) poster on each side.

Poster-sized printing is available in the UW Library Makerspace (Snoqualmie Building), and the Copy & Mail Center (Mattress Factory). Officers may use money from the RSO Operations Fund or UWAA RSO Support Fund to pay for poster printing.

AUX Cables

AUX (auxiliary) cables will help you at your next event when you are trying to connect a phone, tablet, or laptop to a sound system. They work great in the UWY Multipurpose Rooms, as well as in any AUX-supported media equipment on campus.

We even have several collaborative games where you work together as a team to win.
