Access to darkroom and digital printing

Photo I (PHOT 1000) gives access to the darkroom while you are enrolled, but what about after that semester? Many photo students want to continue developing film and making prints.

Many photo courses include a lab fee that allows you to use the digital printers, but what if you are not enrolled in one of those courses in a given semester?

Now you can pay the associated lab fees, and have access to the darkroom and/or the digital printers during a semester when it's not included in your class lab fees.

(Access is during normal class session dates. Regular hours apply, of course, and there may sometimes be limitations if a class is in session in the space you hope to use, just as with any lab fee access.)
