Technical and Rental Services

We do not allow pick up and drop off outside of our business hours.

To keep our equipment free of charge for all students to rent out our rentals must be taken care of and returned in proper condition. If equipment is not returned in the proper condition or is late, the student/organization will be held accountable.

1st offense: Written warning via email to student organization

2nd offense: The student/organization’s rental privileges will be revoked

If equipment is returned broken/unusable, the student organization will be responsible for replacing the item.

In order for accountability, groups will be required to fill out a check out sheet for each rental. Thank you for your patience in this process.

  • Student Organization rentals go through CampusGroups’ Event Management Form as a part of the submission process.

  • UMaine Departments can email um.getinvolved@maine.edu for rentals. CSI does not rent to outside organizations.

Available rentals:

Popcorn Machine

Who doesn’t love popcorn? Please see the manual for instructions. Please note: the renter is responsible for cleaning the machine before returning it to CSI.

Snocone Machine

Snocone’s are a great treat no matter the time of year. Flavors and supplies can be purchased from General Rental in Old Town, ME. Renters are responsible for providing the ice (you can rent a cooler from us to store the ice in). Please note: the renter is responsible for drying the machine before returning it to CSI.

Chiminea

Fire up your (outside) event with this small fireplace! We provide the pit, you provide the people and the supplies! This would be great to roast s’mores over! Please note: the renter is responsible for allowing the chiminea to cool before returning it to CSI.

Tables

Most popularly used by groups tabling on the mall. We can offer a maximum amount of 6 tables in any given day. If you are wanting a table within the Memorial Union, please use this link instead. Chairs are NOT available for rent with these tables. Please note: the renter is responsible for cleaning off the tables before returning them to CSI.
