What do we need to be able to use your program on our campus?
Technically, it’s very simple. You just need a closed circuit campus channel. We will provide the programming and equipment to get you started. If you don’t have a campus channel, call us to find out how to get one or to learn about providing online programming to students through your campus network.

Can I purchase movies from you?
Residence Life Cinema does not "sell" feature films. Rather, we provide movies and include the legal copyrights necessary for you to broadcast them on your campus cable system. To maintain regular student interest, most schools believe it is important to keep their program schedule fresh with new and popular movies. Our clients tell us the best way to do that is to show each movie a number of times over a one month period and then replace it with a new movie.

What video formats do you offer?
Currently we offer closed-captioned VHS, DVD and digital hard drive through our Digital Media Player.
