Create Academic Recordings

Schedule a Room Recording

To create a scheduled room recording, you must email the Media Center at media@law.gwu.edu with as much notice as possible (ideally, one day) with the following information:

  • Course and section number (e.g. 9999-10 Web Portal Law)
  • Date
  • Start Time
  • End Time
  • Room Location/Number (e.g. L402)

 

If your recording release policy is not release all, please also provide the names and @law email addresses of who should get access to the recording, or simply say it's for the entire class.

 

If you chose a record all policy, all of your official Records Office schedule of classes class meetings are automatically set to record. If you have review sessions, make up classes, or any deviations from the Records Office schedule, you must inform us and request that we record it by providing the information above.
