Mission Statement:
Our new room management system poises some challenges which has instigated re-evaluation of our reservation policies. Our goal is to better utilize our collegiate resources, and accommodate our end users with as little inconvenience as possible.Aug-14
Who Can Reserve:
Our resources are available for RTF students currently enrolled in upper-division and graduate production classes working on an approved academic project for their current production class. Faculty use may also be approved if it does not directly interfere with class activity. All reservations are treated on a first-come, first-served basis.
...
CMB studios, when not in use by class activities, should be used for reservations including but not limited to rehearsing, blocking, set construction, lighting, and shooting. All patrons using studios must abide by our Studio policy.
Studio usage is for production-related applications only. Casting and crew meetings are limited to available non-studio resources.
...
Post-Productions suites are designated for both undergraduate and graduate students. All patrons using these resources must abide by the University Acceptable Use policy. Some areas such as the CMA 5th floor suites may be specifically assigned for class projects as requested. Other areas such as the CMB 4.112 suites are specifically reserved for graduate student work, or specific tasks (sound re-recording, color timing, etc.) as required by the coursework. All patrons using graduate suites must abide by our Editing suite policy.
Resource Reservation Procedure:
The new room management system, Appspace, is a cloud-based application which requires user licenses for reservation capabilities. The college has currently budgeted enough licenses for faculty, staff, and a limited amount for students. Therefore, reservation procedure should flow as follows:
...
In the event a reservation should be cancelled please email Moody staff comm-production@austin.utexas.edu to request the deletion of the reservation. As a courtesy to our constituents in the college, a decent lead time is appreciated so we may free the space and allow others to use it. Failure to provide cancellation requests will be deemed as a “no-show” reservation. Outstanding “no-show” activity may result in loss of privileges to resources including but not limited to studios and equipment.
