SUMMER HOURS: MAY 14-JULY 27

The facilities close promptly so save and lay off your projects before closing time. If you are still exporting your project at closing time, we will tell you to stop and do it during your next edit session. It is your responsibility to manage your time appropriately.

POST CENTER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

IDENTIFICATION
All editing students are asked to leave their Student ID Card with the Post Center for the duration of their editing time in exchange for any equipment or media. The Post Center will NOT take any other form of ID. You will not be admitted without your Columbia ID. The ID will be returned when the student leaves the Post Center.

RESERVATIONS
For all editing time, whether in or out of class, the editing facilities must be reserved, either for you as an individual or for the class as a whole:

• 1) Reservations are non-transferable. All unused reservations may be re-appropriated.
• 2) Students may only use labs designated for their specific class. Enrollment in the college, Cinema and Television Art department, or even post production classes DOES NOT grant carte blanche access to all labs.
• 3) Adv. Classes can make reservations over the phone or via email (postcenter@colum.edu).
  • Digital Cinema Mastering, Practicum, Adv. Color, AES, and Grad
• 4) Classes differ in the number of reservations students can make every week. Some classes also have standing reservations. Ask the Post Center for more information.
• 5) NO SAME DAY RESERVATIONS
  

UNCLAIMED RESERVATIONS AND WALK INS
In addition to reserving editing, transfer, or mix time, students may sign up for unclaimed editing time.

• 1) Reservations are held for 30 minutes past their start time. After 30 minutes, any unclaimed reservations are given away (re-appropriated) to students signed up and waiting on a “first come, first serve” basis; this includes standing reservations.
• 2) Any unreserved editing slots can be claimed at the start of the time slot.
• 3) At the beginning of every Edit slot, the Post Center will build a new re-appropriation list for each lab if full. All students waiting to claim a space must sign the list. Re-appropriation slots are on a first come, first served basis only.
• 4) Re-appropriation slots are for the current time slot only. All stations are cleared at the beginning of every time slot for the next round of reservations and re-appropriation.
• 5) The re-appropriation list will go into effect 30 minutes after the original start time of the editing slot. Students on a re-appropriation list must be present at that time. If their name is called and they are not present the next person on the list will be given the open slot.
• 6) Students may have as many re-appropriated slots a week as they like, but they may only sign up for and use one slot at a time, i.e. you can only edit on one station at a time.
  

INTERDEPARTMENTAL AND FACULTY RESERVATIONS
The facilities are intended expressly for use by Cinema and Television Art students for the furtherance of their assigned coursework. Requests for services by Cinema and Television staff and faculty must submit requests to Dennis Keeling (dkeeling@colum.edu) or Diego Trejo (dtrejo@colum.edu). Requests should include specifics needs, specifics about the project – running time, deadlines, and your availability.

RESTRICTIONS

• 1) No food, drink, or cell phones in the labs, re-recording stages, or edit suites. Do not smoke anywhere in the building. By law you must smoke 15 feet away from the entrance of the building.

• 8) The facilities do NOT buy or sell media of any kind. We do not offer any other media than what is given to you in class. If you need media immediately, you must purchase it off-site.
• 9) Please be quiet in the editing labs. You may discuss your work with people, but be considerate of those working around you.
• 10) To prevent spreading germs, please wash your hands before and after using any computer. If you use the bathroom, please wash your hands before returning to the lab to work.
