On-campus photography and filming guidelines
Filming on university grounds for internal and external purposes is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and requires varying levels of approval and permitting.
Filming by news media outlets does not require a permit; however please contact a member of the media relations team if you’d like to film on our campuses.
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.
