General Use Policies
The CCAM is a program of the Yale College Dean’s Office. Users of any CCAM resource including production equipment, lab facilities, and studio spaces must comply with all applicable laws, rules and guidelines of the center, and policies and conditions outlined by university policy, including Yale College Regulations.
Prior approval by CCAM staff is required for use of the Leeds and Production Studios. Students are invited to apply to use the Bakery, CCAM’s exhibition space.
Equipment
Equipment rentals are managed by the Yale ITS Student Technology Collaborative and are additionally subject to compliance with all rules and regulations of that program.
Student Insurance
Insurance is strongly recommended for use and rental of CCAM equipment. Insurance is required for extended loans and oversees travel with CCAM equipment resources. Students should ensure coverage before borrowing equipment; in some cases, proof of coverage may be required to before access to equipment is granted. Many students secure relatively affordable coverage through HF&C policy options.
