Classroom Media Support

What Is It?

This group manages the daily multimedia and audio-visual requirements of UT Dallas courses across most of the buildings on campus. There are several locations on campus that have their own AV contacts. These areas include but are not limited to: Jindal School of Management and the Student Union. Please contact Classroom Media Support if you do not know who to contact for your area.

There are the different pieces of media equipment available for reservations on this campus. Please remember that quantities are not unlimited and equipment may not be available at all times or in all locations.

Who Is Eligible to Use It?

Faculty and Staff.  A faculty/instructor can submit a request on behalf of a student.

Where Can I Get It?

Classroom Media Support can be reached at 972-883-4900 or media@utdallas.edu.

All requests must be received two business days prior to class. All Weekend requests MUST be in by 12:00 pm the Wednesday before so we can adjust our technicians' schedules accordingly.

Please DO NOT add additional time to your request as this may delay your equipment. Our technicians attempt to do set-ups during the 10-15 minutes between classes and when additional time is added to the beginning of a reservation, they often find a class is session and they will move to the next set up.

Equipment may be requested for each class or for the entire semester. Semester orders require a start and end date. Please let us know when you will have your mid-terms and/or exams and do not need equipment. This frees the equipment for someone else and avoids interrupting your classroom environment with equipment setup.

The most common equipment requests for classes are for LCD projectors for use with laptop (PowerPoint without audio or DVD with audio), audio systems, and microphones.

Please remember that quantities are limited and equipment may not be available at all times or in all locations.

Students that need audiovisual equipment for use in a classroom, e.g. for a presentation, must request the equipment via their instructor. In other words only an instructor may request equipment to be delivered and set up in a classroom for student use.

Equipment Training

For training on the use of classroom media equipment, please email media@utdallas.edu and we will schedule a short 15-minute briefing in your classroom.
