Media Services FAQ
How do I arrange to get equipment and/or support?
In order to schedule audio/visual equipment for a class before 5pm, a Media Services Request Form must be completed 5 business days in advance of the class. For any class after 5pm, an Event Form (obtained from the Event's Office in Balfour-Hood) must be completed 5 business days in advance of the event or class.
Media Services does not reserve classrooms. Please contact Conferences and Events at events@wheatonma.edu.

Is there a cost involved in equipment or support?
Typically, there is no cost for equipment or support from Media Services for events. However, if equipment is required that Wheaton does not own (or is already booked) or support skills are required that Wheaton staff does not possess (or is already booked) then outside resources can be hired. The cost for this service will need to be covered by the event.
