Arranging Technology-Supported Events

Media Services Course and Event Support: 

Media equipment, staff support, and video recording to support courses and other events on campus is available to faculty, staff and students.  

Priority is given to supporting teaching and learning. Support for courses and teaching and learning initiatives is free of charge.

Self-service options are available free of charge.

Charges apply for requests that do not pertain to teaching and learning and require on-site support for the duration of an event.  Examples include panel discussions needing multiple microphones, high-profile events, events requiring complex portable A/V equipment, live streaming, etc.

Media Services applies a fee for service model. Each service (AV, production, live streaming, etc.) incurs an hourly fee independent of the staffing required to deliver the service.

A proposal will be provided to confirm your request, our process and any charges.
