Access to the equipment and facilities is provided in order to support the teaching and learning initiatives within the various academic programs. Access to equipment and facilities carries the responsibility for their proper use and care. VCUQatar recognizes that most students are responsible and thoughtful users. The actions of a few irresponsible users, however, can disrupt and interfere with the right of all users.
Resources and facilities are available to all programs. Programs are encouraged to plan curricular integration of these resources a semester in advance of planned use. Beyond preplanned use the MFA program is generally given priority for use of this equipment. Pending availability, other students, faculty and staff may access the equipment and facilities.
