Video Lab Access & Bruin Cards

Only WAC students that 1) have enrolled in a WAC video class and/or 2) have received consent from a WAC faculty member and the WAC video lab manager may access the lab, use the computers and borrow equipment. Non-WAC UCLA students that are 1) currently enrolled in a WAC video class or 2) currently enrolled in an independent study with a WAC faculty member and 3) have received the consent of the WAC video lab manager may access the lab, use the computers and borrow equipment; the video lab is not open to the public. Authorization for lab use will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. You may have to provide proof of class enrollment or faculty consent on a quarterly basis.

Camera Checkout

Cameras must be reserved 24 hours in advance of checkout. You must make reservations in person with a lab employee. Telephone or email reservations will not be accepted. Faculty or colleagues cannot reserve equipment for you. You can reserve equipment up to 2 weeks in advance. You are allowed only one pending reservation at a time (e.g., you cannot reserve a camera for the next five weekends, you can only have one reservation on the books at a time). When you reserve a camera, you will be assigned a checkout time.

The checkout period is 24 hours (i.e., if you check out on a Tuesday, the equipment is due back Wednesday; if you checkout on a Friday, equipment is due back the following Monday). Equipment must be picked up and returned by the student making the reservation. A faculty member or colleague cannot check out/in equipment for you. Equipment must be checked in with a video lab employee; you cannot leave equipment at the WAC front desk nor can you leave it with any other WAC staff member. Lost or broken equipment will be replaced at the student’s expense. Returning equipment late may result in the suspension of lab privileges. Cameras may be checked out starting week two of the quarter. Cameras cannot be checked out over the quarter breaks.

WAC Video Library

The video lab has access to videotapes dating back to the 1994-1995 academic years. To request a tape, you must email the video lab manager the index numbers of the tapes you wish to view. This information can be found in the “WAC_Tape_Library_040208.PDF”. Tapes must be reserved 24 hours in advance and it is recommended that you reserve a station or dub bay for viewing. Tapes can only be viewed while video lab staff is on duty. Tapes cannot be taken out of the lab.

WAC Tape Library

*This is only a brief overview of the WAC video lab operational policies. A full set of the guidelines governing the WAC video lab is available from any video lab staff member. One final note: access to lab facilities and equipment is a privilege, not a right. The video lab staff reserves the right to rescind that privilege.
