Audiovisual and E-rooms

SIPA AV Services

Electronic support at SIPA is limited to the International Affairs Building (IAB). SIPA Computing supports SIPA computer labs for SIPA courses. Audiovisual support is available to SIPA students, faculty, and administration in the SIPA electronic classrooms (e-rooms). Audiovisual support is also available for SIPA courses in non-electronic classrooms in the IAB. Video conferencing for small groups is available with prior arrangements for SIPA users only. Any personal laptop setups require prior testing with the equipment present in the room. Mac users must provide adapters to connect to the VGA cable for presentation.

You must submit a request for training if you plan to use the equipment in a SIPA e-room on a regular basis. SIPA electronic classrooms are 324, 402, 402B, 404, 405, 405B, 407, 409, 411,  and 418 IAB.

All reservations must be made two business days in advance for classroom support. Once we have your request you will be contacted by SIPA staff via e-mail to confirm arrangements. Please do not call the registrar's office about it. Audiovisual training for the SIPA e-room is controlled by SIPA and is required to use the equipment in e-rooms. For training and access to ePodiums/Smart Carts in the rooms listed above, please submit the training form to SIPA.
