Media Loan APS Catalog

APS Gear that is only available to students in specific coordinated Media classes.

APS: This catalog shows all "APS" gear available at Media Loan. APS (Advanced Production Services) gear requires students to be in specific advanced media classes that have coordinated the use of the gear. APS is a different category of Media Loan Gear than "General Access". If you aren't in a media class that has coordinated APS gear, we recommend looking at the Media Loan Catalog that has all the General Access items that any enrolled student can use.

Proficiency: In the "Proficiency Required?" column, you can see if you need to pass a proficiency test to use the gear. Many APS items require a proficiency test. The "Gear Guide" column has the links to pages for information to become proficient. Proficiency may also be offered through class workshops.
