On-campus photography and filming guidelines
Filming permissions at the university is overseen by the Film Advisory Committee through Facilities Management. Find filming guidelines and information on the filming permit request and approval process.
Film permit requests must be submitted at least seven business days prior to filming. The use of university grounds, buildings, and subjects for non-university photo, film, and recording purposes are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and require additional levels of approval and permitting.
Talent release forms
A signed talent release is required from all persons (students, faculty, staff, and/or members of the public) visibly recognizable in photos, videos, or audio recordings used for university-related marketing or advertising, as well as for student projects. For persons under 18, a talent release must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.
All communications and content—including images, videos, and recordings—that share any individual's health-related information must comply with provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA releases (patient consent) will be required for all photos, videos, and film taken in a clinical care area on university or affiliate hospital property.
