Policies
Covid-19 Precautions
As per college policy, masks are required anywhere inside DMS spaces, unless you are alone in an Edit Suite or Studio with the door shut.
We are currently not practicing 6' physical distancing or limitng occupancy in rooms. We will post any changes to procedure on this page.
Late Return Policy
The borrower is responsible for returning equipment on its due date during the Digital Media Exchange’s (DMX) regular business hours. Please keep in mind that the DMX serves the Bates community and all patrons depend on equipment being returned on time. Returning equipment late may prevent others from being able to complete projects or assignments.
Broken or damaged equipment
Equipment must be returned in the state and condition in which it was loaned. Reasonable wear and tear may occur. Please report any known issues immediately.
If staff determines equipment damage to be beyond reasonable wear and tear, your student account or department may be charged the repair or replacement value of the item.
Lost or stolen equipment
When you leave the office with loaned equipment, it has become your responsibility. If any equipment is lost or stolen, your student account or department may be charged the full replacement value.
