Access to the Instructional Media Collections & Services

UCLA Faculty and Teaching Assistants

All materials from the IMCS collection are provided free of charge to regularly scheduled UCLA classes. Requests for rentals and purchases from off-campus distributors are processed without charge upon receipt of an approved Instructional Improvement Mini-Grant application.

All faculty and teaching assistant requests for classroom screenings of media must be placed through academic department offices. We ask that orders be placed well in advance of the scheduled viewing dates to avoid scheduling conflicts. Some departments have designated one staff member to handle media orders. Please be sure to consult with your individual department for its policy.
