Both extended durations and advanced equipment require approval from a College of Journalism and Mass Communications faculty member.
Extended-duration requests: you must identify a faculty member who is familiar with and able to confirm that your request is for a legitimate academic purpose, above and beyond normal coursework.
If your request is for work in an experience lab, select your experience lab professor.
Advanced equipment requests: you must identify a faculty member who has personal knowledge of your ability to use all requested equipment and will attest that you can safely use the equipment without breaking it.
