Electronic classrooms may be scheduled for special events (by faculty and staff only) if they are not already scheduled for regular academic activities. The definition of a regular academic activity includes regularly scheduled classes, labs, review sessions, and performing arts rehearsals and productions. A special event is defined as a one time or infrequently occurring event outside of regularly academic activities that require any additional ITS support including, but not limited to, software installation, extra equipment/technology setup (including audio/video), and/or training. Student groups and outside organizations may not reserve an electronic classroom for any reason. Please observe the following procedures when scheduling these classrooms.
-
Faculty or Staff (no student groups or outside organizations) must contact Central Scheduling ((518) 388-6098 or through the web) to reserve the room.
-
Central Scheduling will need the following information:
-
Date of event
-
Start and end time of event (including any set up time)
-
Name of contact/person using the classroom
-
Contact’s phone number
-
Whether electronic equipment will be used; if yes, person using the room needs to have received training from ITS.
-
Special requests (if any; examples include: software installation, operator support, microphones, etc.)
-
Because of the support issues associated with special events, Central Scheduling and ITS must have advance notice when reserving an electronic classroom. The required advance notice for special events is listed below.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to vacancies and limited resources in the Learning Environments team, we may not be able to honor all requests. For all programming that is 4 hours or less during the business day (8:30am - 5:00pm) or 5 hours or less after hours (5:00pm-10:00pm), you will need to request support at least 1 week in advance of the event.
