Resources for Current Students
Our current students have access to a wide set of resources to ensure they are successful during their DU experience. We encourage students to get involved on campus, work with your advisor to make sure you are on track with your degree and explore your post-graduate career options. Whatever you're looking for, we've got you covered.
MyDU is the place to start for student resources.
Advising
Once you declare an MFJS major, you will be assigned a faculty advisor. Your advisor is there to help you review your degree progress, and we encourage you to meet with them each quarter.
To find your academic advisor:
- Log into MyDU and navigate to “Student Resources” tab
- Select "Academic Resources"
- In section “Academic Advising,” click on “View Your Student Profile”
- Find current academic advisor(s) under section “Advisors”

DU Clarion
DU's student-run newspaper, the Clarion, serves as the voice of the campus and covers campus and local stories.
Student Opportunities
We are proud to provide a wealth of opportunities for our students to pursue creative projects.
Internships
As extensions of classroom learning, internships help you learn and make connections in the field before you graduate.
Internships are an important part of the Media, Film & Journalism Studies experience.
Our internship director provides support for students, including featured opportunity lists.
Building Access
Our department maintains both computer lab and video lab facilities for our undergraduate and graduate students, especially those in the Film and Production major and in the Video Production graduate emphasis. Access is limited and our faculty will help determine which classes will need access during each quarter.
Continuing students can apply for access in the first two weeks of classes and should review the Terms and Conditions document and check with faculty for any questions they have.
Equipment Access
Film and video equipment is available for MFJS production course students and students working on independent study with a MFJS faculty member. Current students who have completed the Intro to Field Production and Editing course can request equipment online for their coursework.
MFJS equipment reservations are not for internships, personal or commercial use and are subject to the Video Facilities Terms of Use. If students or faculty outside of MFJS wish to use film production equipment, please visit the DU Digital Media Center, where a wide range of production equipment is available to the DU community.
