Schedule Class Use

Contact the Film Services Manager to schedule, confirm, or cancel reservations. 

Semester & Single Class Use

Semester classes

The Bijou Theater can be scheduled for Fall and Spring Semester classes only.

School of Film / Video is given scheduling priority, as the Bijou is their primary multimedia and film projection classroom.

Winter Session is reserved for equipment maintenance and projectionist training between semesters.

Single Class Use

The Bijou Theater may be available for single-class use reservations. Contact the Film Services Manager.

Class Use Fees

Schools and departments are recharged at the end of the semester for the total hours worked by the projectionist assigned to the class (including material preparation time and soundchecks, when required). 

Notify the Film Services Manager one week in advance if a class is canceled to avoid fees. 

Fees may not be charged to schools or departments if projection or supervision is not needed.

Fees help support the projectionist's pay, supplies, equipment, facilities maintenance, and upgrades.
