The RU-tv Network is always on the lookout for creative programming from the Rutgers community. If you have produced, or plan to produce a video project that you would like to distribute on the RU-tv Network to the Rutgers community, including all of the residence halls, here's what you need to know.

•  All programming on RU-tv must comply with our operating policies pertaining to content as well as technical quality. It's a good idea to become familiar with these guidelines before starting your production.

•  All copyrighted material must be properly released. This includes images as well as music. Here is some helpful information if you have questions about Copyright or Fair Use.

•  Plan ahead. RU-tv's program schedule is set at least two weeks in advance. You should expect our evaluation process to take an additional week to ten days.

•  To submit your completed project for consideration fill out the Producer Submission Form and deliver it along with a copy of your program. Our offices are located at 96 Davidson Road, Room 130 on Busch Campus.

•  For additional information about the program submission process contact:
