Endicott College prides itself on having a strong sense of community. Both the Digital Media Center and the Division of Communication have a special obligation to serve the college, its students, faculty and staff. Part of that obligation is to provide students with the opportunity to explore and develop their creative and professional skills. Towards that end, we encourage the community to use the video equipment to create entertaining and educational videos and audio projects for classes and ECTV. To ensure that the community is well served by these projects, content standards laid out by the Code of Conduct in the college's Student Handbook must be followed. These standards are designed to respect the creative energies of the media producers and the community at large.


Content and Production Standards for all Endicott College Productions


The equipment available for use in and from the Digital Media Center is intended for academic use, ECTV production, and special college initiatives. Content and production standards for each project should be reviewed with and approved by the class professor, the ECTV advisor, or applicable college administrator. For reference to the content and production standards see the FCC guidelines on Obscene, Indecent, and Profane broadcasts.


  • The equipment available for use in and from the Digital Media Center is intended for academic use, ECTV production, and special college initiatives.
  • Endicott equipment is not for personal use or financial gain.
  • Content and production standards for each project should be reviewed with and approved by the class professor, the ECTV advisor, or applicable college administrator.
  • When a question arises whether content is in violation of the standards, the Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Communication, and Humanities will be the final arbiter.
  • Non adherence to this agreement is subject to the consequences, which may include access to Endicott's Digital Media Center and its equipment being revoked, being held financially responsible for damages and repairs, and other disciplinary options available to the college.
