All equipment purchased by the Athletics Department is the property of the Athletics Department, UAH, and the University System. It must be returned after the season to be accounted for by the department.
-
You are responsible for equipment issued to you and will be charged for equipment not returned, damages due to neglect, and loss or theft.
-
After you receive equipment, you may receive replacement equipment on an exchange basis only. If equipment is defective or damaged beyond repair, it still must be returned for an exchange. This must be done through your coach and not as an individual.
-
Equipment damaged due to usage, not neglect, will be repaired by the team’s equipment manager and returned to you.
-
On road trips, you are responsible for packing your equipment and ensuring its safe return to the appropriate dressing room or storage area.
-
You should report any equipment problems to the team manager/coach as soon as possible. This includes defective equipment, theft, or inadequate protection.
-
As the conclusion of the season, all equipment will be inventoried, laundered and repaired for the next season. Equipment cannot be checked out by team members during the off season, except in special situations. Procedure for this situation includes a letter request from the student-athlete to his/her coach for consent.
There will be a late fee (10% of the value of equipment with a minimum charge of $10.00), charged to any athlete who does not return issued equipment on the scheduled turn-in date. If equipment is not returned, a hold will be placed on the student-athlete’s university account and will not be taken off until satisfactory arrangements are made concerning the return or reimbursement for the equipment. If a hold is on a student’s account, they will not be allowed to register or receive transcripts from the university.
