Media services provides media support for the university, primarily for classroom instruction. Support is provided in two ways: Production of medial materials and distribution/utilization of media. Services include audiovisual, video, graphics, and media engineering.

Media services provides training opportunities for students in graphics, television production and distribution, and audiovisual support. This training occurs through regular student employment and internships in collaboration with academic departments. Department staff also contribute to formal instruction in regular university courses.

There is no charge for services in direct support of classroom instruction other than for materials. For some services there are charges to other units of the university. Equipment may not be borrowed for nonuniversity purposes.

Media services may, at commercially competitive rates or for value received, sell services to noncampus clients pursuant to provisions of chapter 28B.63 RCW, "Commercial activities by institutions of higher education," as it exists now or may hereafter be amended.
