Students currently enrolled in digital filmmaking, photography, and animation courses are welcome to check out select equipment for class projects.

Philm Lab Aides are available in Doucette Hall G-2
to assist with equipment, post-production software,
high-resolution photographic printing,
and after-hours access to studio spaces

Monday – Friday
8:15 am – 7 pm

Equipment should be returned no later than
one-half hour before closing time.
Students may borrow equipment
according the following schedule.

It is often advantageous to alert Lab Aides to your equipment needs several days in advance.

Equipment due on Labor Day or In-Service Day may be returned the following day without fine.  Equipment cannot be checked out over Thanksgiving, Winter, or Spring breaks.

There is one-day waiting period between equipment loans.

Students who return equipment late will be fined at a rate of $10 per day, per piece of equipment.  Loan privileges will be suspended until all fines are paid.  Fines may be paid in person during open hours at the Equipment Room by check or money order made out to Pennsylvania Western University.

Instruction, scholarship, and maintenance priorities govern occasional exceptions to the more comprehensive version of these policies found on Film Equipment Loan Data Sheets, available from Philm Lab Aides.
