Download this single pdf file, Media Studios Sem2, 2016 for descriptions of the studio options for this coming semester.

Also read this explanatory document – Studio & Ballot FAQs – about the process. It has especially important information about potential timetable clashes. (Here is a copy of the Sem2_2016 Media Timetable Clash Map).

To be eligible to ballot you have to be enrolled in COMM2625 Media 2 or COMM2627 Media 4 for semester two.

Your studio is only for the duration of one semester (not the rest of your degree!).

You have until midnight, Sun 19th June to complete the online ballot form (and amend it if you change your mind about anything). Studio allocations will be emailed and posted to this site by Mon. 27th June.

The google ballot form where you vote for your top three studio preferences is embedded in this post below. Do note that you must be logged in to your RMIT gmail account for access to be granted. You can also reach the form via http://goo.gl/forms/el06almbBSGNCbWj2

It’s not ‘first in, first served’ in terms of filling individual studio places. So you don’t have to rush. Read the descriptions carefully and think about what might be a stimulating focus for your media learning this semester. Remember it is just one semester – many of you will do more  studios and those that won’t have already experienced comparable work in the courses these studios replace.

We can’t guarantee allocation to your first preference studio, or even possibly your top three (it depends how everyone votes), but we are hoping the spread of interests might be diverse enough that for this round we can get everyone in to one of their three.

Do tick ‘Send me a copy of my responses …’ at the end of the form so you know you have submitted and have the option to edit later if you need to.
