End of Spring 2022 Semester

April 2022

As the spring semester concludes, all our services see higher usage and demand. We recommend that everyone plan accordingly to make advance reservations for equipment loan needs using our Equipment Reservation System as many items are in demand with back-to-back reservations. Printing posters and lab printing also sees high usage and demand during this time. For any multimedia lab related questions, make sure to visit our Contact Us section.

Note that our Equipment Reservation System will not permit reservations for the summer until our spring semester concludes. We will update the Reservation System hours on Monday May 9th for the rest of the summer (up through mid-August). Access is only available to students when they are active in coursework, so those in summer classes will be able to resume loan access on the first day of their summer classes. Those with classes next in the fall semester will be able to borrow equipment again the first day of the fall semester.

We will continue to operate with regular semester hours up through Saturday, May 7th. Thereafter we will operate with more reduced, intersession hours as the summer begins. Look to the Location Hours page for full details.

Start of Spring 2022 Semester

January 2022

As another exciting semester begins, Digital Media Services locations will be open with slightly modified hours of operation the first 2 weeks of the semester. This includes reduced closures at 5pm at WTC and some more limited Equipment Reservation pickup windows due to student worker gaps ahead of the return to on-campus classes on 1/31. If you are a student, your access to the Equipment Loan Program begins effective your first day of classes based on your LOCUS class start dates.
