Guidelines for Curricular Use

The NCAT facilities and staff provide a wide variety of opportunities for faculty members to build digital media assignments into their courses. Courses may be scheduled in the NCAT for an entire semester or only a few class periods. We welcome conversations about how the NCAT can help you and your students to meet the learning goals of your course.

Guidelines in a nutshell:

  • A class may be scheduled to meet in the NCAT any time space is available. At least 24 hours notice is requested.
  • If the instructor needs a member of the NCAT staff to be present for a class meeting to provide training or support, two weeks’ notice is required. The instructor must be present for training sessions. After 2-3 semesters, it is expected that the instructor will take over responsibility for training students.
  • If the instructor gives an assignment that will require students to make use of NCAT resources outside of class time or to borrow equipment, this must be arranged in advance and no later than Friday of the first full week of the semester.

Please feel free to approach us at any time to talk about your courses and the NCAT!

Equipment

Headphones

We cannot supply headphones for classes; each student is responsible for bringing his or her own headphones to class meetings. Headphones may be checked out from the NCAT HelpDesk in NC 003 during open hours. The NCAT student employee will hold your SLU ID card as collateral. Please do not take headphones out of the NCAT.

Equipment for Loan

The NCAT has a variety of audio and camera equipment that can be checked out by students. Some items are reserved for students in specific courses. The NCAT does not have a recording studio.
Please be sure to consult NCAT staff before assigning a project that will require a number of students to borrow equipment; inventory is limited and demand is very high at several points in the semester (please see guidelines above).

Items may be checked out from the NCAT HelpDesk in NC 003 during open hours or by making special arrangements with NCAT staff.
