DETERMINING PRIORITY FOR EQUIPMENT
When multiple students request the same gear, assignments are determined by:
- Class level (higher-level classes get priority, e.g., 600 > 490)
- Lottery number
- Form submission timestamp
These factors together determine final assignments.The following is a list of classes in order of priority and camera packages that are available to each class.

Your class level priority will ONLY BE HONORED through the end of business day, on the day of the lottery. All reservations accepted during this time will be prioritized and equipment assigned at time of closing. Any reservations placed AFTER the day of the lottery will be prioritized on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis regardless of class level.
Not understanding this policy is no excuse for not getting your reservation in by the stated deadlines in order to insure priority.
