Classroom Media Services
NYU's Classroom Media Services provides service and assistance for NYU classes - defined by an official NYU course number- in over 170 general-purpose classrooms located throughout the NYU campus. Below are our department policies as related to AV reservation, technical assistance, et cetera.
Two-Business Day Notice
In order to best prepare and serve our faculty, we ask that a minimum of two-business days notice be given when requesting equipment from Classroom Media Services. While we understand that last-minute changes do occur, we also serve a large campus and faculty and cannot guarantee delivery or service without two-business days notice.
Late Reservation
Due to the high volume of requests for our services, any last-minute requests for equipment may require that the equipment be offered as a pick-up service only.
Pick-Up Service
Classroom Media Services provides equipment, such as laptops (PC & MAC), remote controls and wireless lavaliere microphones ONLY as a pick-up service. This requires that faculty, or designee, come to our office, located in the basement of the Silver Center Building, Room LL7A. Pick-up equipment may require a waiver and a department account number. This service is also available to faculty who choose to bring equipment personally to each class. Additionally, this service supports Late Equipment Reservations when equipment is not installed in a classroom and delivery staff is not available.
Account Number
We require account number for the following equipment: laptops, wireless microphones, pick-up video projectors, mp3 recorders, and digital video cameras.
Retain for a Semester (Semester Loan)
We define semester loan as equipment which is picked up by the user at the beginning of the semester and returned at the end of the semester. In this scenario the user is responsible for the equipment for the duration of the semester. We offer a limited supply of PC, Mac and tablet laptops, remote controls (for the DVD/VCR units), wireless lavaliere microphones and video projectors available for semester loan. Equipment which has been loaned out for the semester must be returned no later than the last day of classes for the semester in which it was used. The equipment requires that a WAIVER FORM be signed before equipment is released.
Pick-Up/Return Daily
As defined, means faculty, or designee, can pick-up equipment before EVERY class and return the equipment at the conclusion of EVERY class, for the entire semester. The user may pick up equipment up to one hour before the start-time of their class. Equipment must be returned to our office one hour after class end-time. The faculty may designate an individual to pick up equipment on their behalf. The Campus Media office is located in the basement of the Silver Building (#31) - 100 Washington Square East, RM LL7A
Videotaping Services
While we do provide digital video camcorders, Classroom Media Services does not provide operators for videotaping of classes.
Faculty Demonstrations & Assistance
Classroom Media Services provides equipment demonstrations for portable and installed Classroom Media AV equipment throughout each semester and also offers training classes before the start of each semester. Please contact us for assistance at 212.998.2655 or fill out an EQUIPMENT REQUEST form on our web site to arrange for a one-on-one demonstration.
