:: Multimedia Room Use Policies ::

Media Distribution Services (MDS) manages the Audio-Visual systems in Cal Poly's General Purpose multimedia rooms. Due to the advanced and changing features of these systems, and in order to provide for a successful experience, MDS requires each user to attend an orientation quarterly prior to use of the audio-visual resources available in the room. Contact MDS at 805-756-7198 to schedule an orientation appointment as far in advance as possible. Please refer to the notes and policies below.
