Media Services
Reserve/Schedule Media Equipment
To reserve and schedule media equipment, please contact the Help Desk.
Media Services will confirm all reservations via email once we enter them into our reservation system. This generally happens within one to three business days of a request.
All equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For reservations of equipment or services that involve staffing/delivery/software installation, we request two weeks’ notice.
If you do not require delivery, feel free to contact us with as little as one business day’s notice. Assuming inventory availability we should be able to meet your needs.
Curricular, recurring or long-term reservations
In cases where a faculty member requires or recommends that students use Media Services equipment to complete projects, we request that the faculty member give us advance notice so we can ensure we have adequate resources to accommodate potential needs.
Weather and our ability to deliver equipment
Weather and building conditions impact our ability to deliver equipment. If we are unable to meet your needs or accommodate your reservation, we will let you know as soon as possible and work with you as best we can to find an alternative solution.
Pricing
Tier Explanations
Tier 1
Tier 1 pricing is generally applied to equipment reserved by departments or offices at the University for educational or administrative functions.
The term “educational” is generally understood to include services required for courses, course delivery and/or directly related course activities. It may also include educational activities organized by Student Life, Human Resources, Career Services, etc.
It does not generally apply to events such as Commencement, Alumni Weekend, Orientation, etc.
Tier 2
Tier 2 pricing is generally applied to equipment or services reserved for University events that are open to the public and University-related use that is neither academic nor administrative in nature.
These “fee for use” activities might include but are not limited to: Alumni events, public lectures or concerts, entertainment functions sponsored by student organizations, events funded or associated with grants, etc.
Tier 2 would also include use by non-profit groups hosting an event at Clark affiliated with a department or individual.
Tier 3
Tier 3 pricing is generally applied to equipment or services reserved for events characterized as “external”.
