Music majors may opt to pay a fee ($100/semester, $50/term, $50 /breaks) for off-campus use of an instrument. This requires completing a contact and obtaining professor approval.

Divisions can pay fees for a limited number of sponsored students. Experiential learning recipients may request a fee waiver.

All items are issued in good working order and should be returned in the same condition. Report any malfunction immediately to the Instrument Office (MB 1129).

Students are financially responsible for any damages caused by misuse or neglect.

A $5 fee is charged for any instruments/equipment left unattended, including amps.

Students are responsible for cleaning the instrument before it is returned. Cleaning supplies are available in the Instrument Office (MB 1129).

All BYU instruments may be used by more than one person during the day (“community instruments”). You must not use the community instrument during another students’ class time(s). You will be notified by the Instrument Office Staff if this applies to the instrument. Each community instrument user must check in the item personally. The last person is responsible for cleaning the instrument.
