Eligibility

The Digital Media Studio facilities are available for use by School of Journalism & Mass Communication students, faculty and staff.

Access

Access priorities are based on our responsibility to support and enhance the mission of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication.

Access priority and privileges ( in descending order of priority):

• Class reservations for instructional purposes.
• Students in the School of Journalism who are enrolled in classes that have a lab component.
• Other journalism students for special projects under the supervision of a faculty member.
• School of Journalism faculty and staff developing courseware or other special projects related to the School of Journalism.
• All access is subject to proven proficiency in operating equipment.

Access privileges for students in courses with a lab component include:

• Access to computers as assigned to their course(s)—PCs or Macs or both. Student accounts are set up based on registration for eligible courses each semester.
• Students in classes that require access to digital media equipment (such as cameras and video equipment) may check equipment out for use. See Equipment Policies for rules governing equipment use.
• Printing privileges.
• Space for file storage allotted to them on the School of Journalism server.

Limitations

School of Journalism students not enrolled in courses with a lab component do not have access to computers in the lab but may use computers in the Sevareid Library which are similarly equipped and configured.

Only students enrolled in courses requiring photographic and video equipment may use such equipment.

The DMS is not a part of the University Computer ADCS lab system. The ADCS operates several other labs that are open to students and staff.
