Booking Equipment and Facilities (SISO)

To access the technical facilities, you must first complete a compulsory online Health & Safety Induction that is available on Canvas. It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete with a quiz at the end. You must score 12 or more out of 14 points in order to pass.  

Please complete the induction as soon as possible, you will receive a separate email once we have enrolled you on the module. Please email MAHTechServ@sussex.ac.uk if you do not receive your invitation. 

We use a booking system called SiSo to manage all of our bookings for facilities and equipment from the MAH Equipment Store. To be able to book equipment you will need to register for a SiSo account. 

Please familiarise yourself with the MAH Equipment Loans Policy before booking and borrowing any equipment. To get started with bookings, you first need to register for a SiSo account. Click on the link at the bottom of this page and then click 'Account Registration' which will take you to a registration form. Please fill out all the required information and then click 'Submit'.

Please note you MUST complete the H&S module and pass the quiz before you can collection your access card or have your SISO account activated.
