FIL 4427C – Film Production Workshop
As a student enrolled in FIL 4427C – Film Production Workshop you have a variety of resources available to complete course media assignments. These include access to NSCM Media Labs and the checkout of media equipment.
Policy Requirements
Students are required to complete the Film Student Policy Form before they can checkout equipment or use facility spaces.
Facility Access
After the Add / Drop deadline, students enrolled in FIL 4427C – Film Production Workshop can electronically access NSCM Media Labs – NSC-161, 211A, and 211B using their UCF ID cards when classes are not being held in these spaces.
Enrolled students can also access the Production Lab | NSC-143 as well as the Advanced Media Lab | NSC-172.
Please use the NSCM Media Lab Activity Calendars to help determine when these spaces are available for open and assisted lab hours.
If you are unable to access the Media Labs or have been issued a replacement UCF ID card, please fill out the Access Card Issue Form for assistance.
Equipment Checkout
Assignment Window
Start Date: Tuesday, March 3rd 2026
End Date: Monday, April 6th 2026
Duration & Frequency
Students can checkout equipment multiple times per semester.
Each checkout period is limited to a maximum of seven days.
The total number of days includes the pickup and return dates (i.e., equipment checked-out on a Tuesday would have to be returned on the following Monday).
Due to limitations with our reservation system, we are not able to grant extensions to checked-out equipment. No back-to-back requests can be made (e.g., you must wait at least one business day to submit a new request to allow other students a chance to reserve the equipment).
Equipment List

You can also walk in for checkouts Monday-Friday from 9:30am to 5:30pm (unless otherwise posted). Items can be returned Monday-Friday from 9:00am to 5:45pm (unless otherwise posted).
