Request AV Equipment in E-room

Instructions and Guidelines

  1. Applications are due on as soon as possible for the fall term since we are just setting up the SIPA electronic classrooms, and November 1 for the spring term. The application must be submitted two weeks prior to the date of the first meeting for any class that does not meet the whole term or begin on the first day of classes.
  2. You will receive confirmation of a room assignment or terms for special cases based on your application.
  3. Please be aware that there is no technical support after 7 p.m. Unless you are comfortable using the equipment in the classrooms, try to have your class or meeting begin before 7 p.m. to assure that everything will work properly.
  4. Once you've received a room assignment from the registrar, you must schedule a training session by filling out the training request form.
  5. Software installations must be requested at least two weeks in advance. Send e-mail to mahajan@columbia.edu to arrange the installation.

Terms for Events and Event Charges

  1. Any event in an SIPA e-room that isn't a class or related to a class (call number, section, and professor necessary) will be charged at $100/hr per technical assistant on hand to do the setup. No weekends.
  2. Hours charged will depend on equipment needs and setup time with a minimum of half-day charge ($400).
  3. Events will not begin before 9 a.m. and must end by 6 p.m. on week days. No weekends.
  4. Events must be requested via Web application no later than two weeks before the date of the event.
  5. Events not needing technical support or that do not use electronic equipment will not be charged if the room is already open. There will be a charge for opening and closing these rooms at other times, based on time and day of the week.
