IMS STORE CLOSURES:

• Mar 31st - Cesar Chavez Day
• May 29th - Memorial Day

To avoid delay, an appointment is encouraged but walk-ins are welcome

IMS is now participating in the CSUCCESS Program! SJSU IT provides Mac & Windows laptops as well as Hotspots for students to borrow at no cost to them, while supplies last. Access to technology should never be a barrier for the education of our students. To learn more visit: https://www.sjsu.edu/it/services/academic-tech/equipment-loaning/csuccess.php

HOW TO BOOK ONLINE:

• Simply:
  • Book your equipment here in Connect2 for as long as you are affiliated with SJSU (You'll receive an automated booking summary to your SJSU email).
    • Please be careful not to mistakenly book your items for a few hours. You may book your items for the duration of your affiliation with SJSU.
  • IMS Staff will contact your SJSU email via iSupport (SJSU CustmerSupport) to confirm your pick-up and return dates & verify contact details.
  • If you need to alter a current booking's date & time, please email classroom-support@sjsu.edu or reply to your appointment ticket.
    • The updated booking time you've requested may be subject to change based on appointment availability. If any updates are made to your booking by IMS Staff, you will receive an email confirmation from Connect2, which will stand as your updated appointment date. Please check your SJSU email for an "SJSU CustomerSupport" correspondence.
    • Always bring your Tower ID or Govt. ID and be sure to check here and in your SJSU inbox for updates and information about your checkout, location, hours, and equipment availability.

CHECKOUTS:

To accommodate SJSU's hybrid modality, extended checkouts will continue for items essential for working & learning, by appointment.
The last day of the semester: Fall 2022: Fri Dec 16, Winter 2022: Fri Jan 20, Spring 2023: Fri May 26.

• STAFF, FACULTY, & STUDENTS Checkout Duration: Enrollment/Employment duration
  
  
• LAPTOPS - May not appear available in Connect2 if all laptops have been checked out. Please do not call or walk-in as this is not a system error. Once more inventory arrives, they will be bookable in Connect2 again. Please check back at a later date as we may not be able to forecast availability/supply chain shortages. Laptops also require updates & reimaging upon return. If you do not need your laptop for summer or winter teaching/learning, we may request that you return/exchange it for the latest security & software updates. Exchanges on the basis of minor differences in specs will not be permitted due to laptop availability & longer than-expected sanitation & processing times. IMS has verified with Deans from all respective disciplines, to ensure all IMS laptop specs suffice for your programming & software needs. If you are in need of a more robust system, please reach out to your department as they can provide you with specialized equipment for your learning & teaching needs. You may also qualify for a free personal device via the US BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM.
  
  
• LAPTOP SOFTWARE: All laptops must connect to the campus network at least 1 time in a 180 day period or the Microsoft licensing will expire. See: MY SOFTWARE LICENSES EXPIRED/VPN FIX. For special software requests which run beyond the specs of our laptops please contact your department head or instructor to request a specialized device.
  
  

RETURNS:

Returns will be due back per your affiliation with SJSU or per the notification you receive from staff during the booking process. Keep in mind that you select your designated return date during the checkout process.

IMS reserves the right to recall all equipment to be returned for refresh or repairs.
