Booking Equipment and Facilities (SiSo)

We use a booking system called SISO for all equipment and facilities bookings. 

SISO (Stock in, stock out): the equipment and facilities associated with this service are strictly for those who are taking practice courses and modules in the following subject areas: Music, Drama, Journalism, and Creative & Critical Practice. 

Should you be eligible for SISO services, you first need to complete the relevant Health & Safety Module on Canvas, which you will have been enrolled on and received an invitation to via email. If you have not received your email invitation, please contact us. This induction 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. 

Following successful completion of the H&S inductionyou can register for a SISO account by visiting the following link-https://sussex.siso.co/mah on a desktop browser or you can download the mobile app for Android or for Apple. Click on the link prior and submit the 'Account Registration' form. Please fill out all the required information and then click 'Submit'. Should you have any issues completing this, please contact us on 'mahtechserv@sussex.ac.uk'. 

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