[How-To] ACS Equipment Reservation System - Reserving Equipment

Instructions for reserving ACS Equipment.

Reservation Policies

  • All equipment is reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis
  • ACS requires a 2-hour reservation window.   This means that equipment cannot be reserved less than 2 hours before the desired start time. If your reservation cannot comply with this schedule, please contact acs@cals.wisc.edu.
  • All equipment requests must be approved by ACS Equipment Reservation System administrator(s).  Once the request has been approved, the owner of the reservation will receive a confirmation email.
  • Unless other arrangements are made, all equipment is to be picked up and returned to 216 Ag Hall.
