CLO 110 Use Policy

Approved by the FLL faculty on March 12, 2003

The Foreign Language Studio is intended for instructional use that requires the special international hardware and software that is unique to CLO 110. Reservation of the Studio is on a tiered first-come, first-served basis (see below). To ensure everyone has equal opportunity, we have set reservation start dates for each semester at two months before the first day of the semester. Requests that come in during these two months will have priority over requests that come in later. We will resolve time conflicts among the requests sent in during this reservation period according to these guidelines:

Reservation by FLL for occasional use (Faculty meetings, International Film Festival, occasional FLL course use)
FLL Courses that require the use of the international A/V equipment or software unique to CLO 110
FLL courses that require A/V equipment but cannot be placed in an appropriate room by Academic Facilities Management
Other LASS courses that require the use of international A/V equipment or software unique to CLO 110
Other occasional use by LASS courses or Student Groups as available or deemed appropriate by the IMC Director

In the past the Foreign Language Studio has been available for ad hoc reservations by student organizations or special course projects in LASS courses, primarily after the beginning of the semester. This practice is being discontinued. The use of the Studio has increased to a point where it is difficult to use it in this manner without disrupting the original intent of the Studio, which is to provide a unique international multimedia venue for FLL students.

We will try to be equitable across FLL courses and instructors. Thus, an instructor who has recently requested blocks of time for a subject might be asked to make adjustments when there are schedule conflicts.

Individuals requiring access to a conventional A/V classroom are encouraged to seek access to university resources. (Please contact Academic Facilities Management or Audio/Visual)

To reserve the studio, please fill out the online Studio Reservation form. This form is used to make a reservation, ensure that the appropriate software is available for the class and that the facility will accommodate specific teaching needs. If the form is not completed appropriately, the IMC can not assure that the studio will meet your class needs and you will be directed to Academic Facilities Management or Audio/Visual.

All who wish to reserve the Foreign Language Studio must attend an orientation given by the IMC Director or the IMC Coordinator or their reservation will be cancelled. Orientations last from 10 to 20 minutes and cover basic studio rules, special equipment, problem reporting, and other pertinent information. Changes in technology and procedures produce new information that is most easily transmitted during orientations. Workstation configurations, operating systems, and software versions can change. To schedule an appointment for orientation contact the IMC Director or the IMC Coordinator before the start of each semester.

We will only accept reservation requests by faculty members:

who accept responsibility for any loss and/or damage of property during their reserved time,
who agree to adhere to the Rules of Use for the Studio, and
who attend a mandatory orientation regarding use of the Studio.

If you are not comfortable with these obligations, we invite you to contact Academic Facilities Management or Audio/Visual to discuss alternate accommodations.
