Audio Technology Program
1. Access to studio space is available 24/7 during the regular academic year to students enrolled in the ATEC program. Undergraduates that are currently enrolled in or have completed ATEC-311 and graduates after they have done two orientation sessions with the Studio Manager, will be granted access. Studio is closed to students during official holidays and official university closings. Summer schedule is subject to change.
2. Access to all studios is granted 24/7 to the Studio Manager, designated staff, and ATEC full-time faculty. Access is granted to adjunct faculty during their scheduled course times and by special arrangement with the Studio Manager and Program Director.
3. All reservations for studio use should be made online at least 24 hours in advance and a maximum of one month in advance. Courses already scheduled by the Registrar do not require a reservation. Reservations are limited to four hours per day per person. Any and all scheduling alterations (such as time extensions) must be approved by the Studio Manager and Program Director. Any reservation that exceeds four hours per day without prior approval will be cancelled without notice.
4. Studio users should arrive on time for their scheduled reservation. If the user arrives 30 minutes late or more without prior notice to the Studio staff, his or her reserved lab time may be forfeited to another user. The Studio Manager and Program Director may limit studio hours for individuals in cases where scheduling/priority becomes an issue or if the studio policy is not being followed.
5. Access to equipment checkout for in-studio use is available 10:00AM – 2:00AM Monday through Saturday and 10:00AM – 10:00PM on Sundays during the regular academic year. Students always check out equipment from the Studio Manager or studio staff only. ATEC professors can use mics/equipment freely.
