CTS Service for Non-Credit and Special Events

The primary function of Classroom Technology Support (CTS) is to meet the media and technology needs of instructors teaching for-credit courses in the classroom environment. Support for special events such as meetings, conferences and other non-credit events may be provided, if:

• the facilities, equipment, and/or staff are available,
• the event's start and end times are scheduled during the normal CTS hours of operation, and
• the event is scheduled in a building that is in the CTS Area of Service as defined by the table below. 

Student events may be scheduled in meeting rooms in SAC or in the TECH Center, which features 13 breakout rooms equipped with a conference table, computer, and wall-mounted flat-screen monitor by accessinghttp://www.temple.edu/sac/reserve

Please note that these are the hours of operation when classes are in session between the first day of a semester and last day of finals. When classes are not in session, the CTS hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM for the buildings listed above. 
CTS is closed on University holidays.

Service to events scheduled outside the normal CTS hours of operation or scheduled in buildings that are not in the defined Area of Service  may be provided for an hourly fee provided staffing and equipment are available.

More specifically, CTS will charge $35 per hour (2 hour minimum charge) per building per event. For example, if the event requires service to one, two, three, etc. rooms in one supported building, the charge will be $35 per hour. If the event requires service to rooms in two supported buildings, the charge will be $70 per hour; 3 buildings, $105 per hour, etc. (Pricing may vary on the Temple University Center City campus.
