E-Mail
All production, academic and departmental information is communicated by e-mail to your UCR account. You may also easily communicate with your instructors via e-mail. It is imperative that students activate their accounts and check them regularly. All UCR students are given an e-mail account. To activate the account, students must go to the Watkins Computing Facility and input his/her student number and permanent pin number. Students are then assigned a user ID with which to access their accounts and change their passwords. Students who wish to use alternate email providers must have their UCR email forwarded to their accounts.
Call Boards
Located in the front of the ARTS Building in a glass case, and in the North Stairwell of the ARTS Building just to the right, or between the Theatre Lab and University Theatres, the call boards are the means of departmental communication with students. Check the departmental notices on the Call Board at least once per day. It is assumed that students will be familiar with information posted on the Call Board, and will respond, if necessary, within 24 hours.
Student Costume Use
Theatre students in upper-division theatre classes may request specific costume items on a weekly basis for use in class projects. Requests must be made through the Costume Shop Manager at least one week in advance.
Costumes may be checked out for a specific time period. There is no rental charge for costumes returned by the due date, however, there will be a cleaning charge of $1 to $6 depending upon the costume. For costumes returned late, the regular costume rental fee will apply and students are liable for damages and/or loss. The Costume Shop does not loan shoes, wigs, facial hair or makeup items. Students must supply their own foundation garments, tights, leotards, and rehearsal shoes as needed for acting classes and projects.
Makeup
All actors must supply his/her own makeup kit (Max Factor/Ben Nye or the equivalent). Although the Department of Theatre does not supply makeup for productions, every effort will be made to assist actors in procuring it.
Personal Property
The University of California shall not be liable for any risk or loss of or damage to: 1.) Property not owned by, not operated by, or not in authorized custody of the University; or 2.) Personal property owned, used, or worn by individuals, including employees, faculty, and students, whether or not such loss or damage occurred: a) on University premises; or b) in the course of employment, unless the University or its agents are negligent.
