Student Opportunities

The University Licensing dept is thrilled to offer students a variety of opportunities to assist in Student Success! 

One of the main services we provide students is assistance in clearing and reserving campus locations for student film shoots. Additionally with many professional film shoots taking place on campus throughout the year, we offer students the opportunity to be Extras on professional productions through our Student Extras Program. Those who are interested in pursuing a career in film, can take advantage of our Job Shadow Program in which the student can get on-set experience by shadowing a crew member. See below for more details on how to be involved in any of these opportunities.

Student Film Shoot

Licensing is happy to support our CTVA students with their academic projects. Students interested in filming on campus must complete the CTVA Filming Request Form with their list of desired locations and requested dates and times. Please note that the Licensing office will need 24 hours to reply back to your request and check availability. To ensure there is enough time to schedule your film shoot, we suggest reaching out to the Licensing dept at least 5 business days from your desired shoot date. This will allow time for the Licensing dept to reserve your space, send out campus notifications of your film shoot and schedule a site rep/liaison (as needed).
