Reservations need to be made through the patron portal when using the darkroom, PEL or Studio 206.. Book reservations through Web Checkout Patron Portal . When you are here for a reservation, come to the 5th floor to check in with a student employee. 

Lab Contract and Hazmat Quiz

To gain access to the patron portal, you must complete the lab contract and hazmat quiz. If you score a two on the quiz, you will be asked to take it again. Please note that it can take up to two business days for your results from the quiz to be processed and to gain access to the patron portal. 

For assistance booking, reservation changes, or if you're running late for your reservation, email postproduction@emerson.edu or call for assistance from a photo monitor at 617-824-8767.
