Requesting Services

The Media Teaching Lab's primary purpose is supporting media production course delivery by providing checkout services, studio support and access to editing and post-production spaces. We may make exceptions to these policies on a limited and case-by-case basis. Please use the appropriate form below to request an exception.

Please submit any requests well in advance of your need, as it may take us up to 72 hours for a response during busy times of the quarter or if staff need to consult internally.
