Photo Release
All photographers taking photographs on University
property or during University events must obtain a
signed release form from any person (student,
faculty member, staff member, community member,
or program participant who is visibly recognizable
in the photograph. Photos of minors (under the age
of 18) require a release signed by a parent or legal
guardian.
If no single person is the dominant feature (e.g.,
crowd scenes) a photo release is not required.
This release applies to all photographs intended for
use in any University publication, informational or
promotional in nature: newsletters, Websites, fact
sheets, news stories, press releases, brochures,
viewbooks, promotional items or other such material.
A release is not needed when photographs are taken
of news events. News event photographs intended
for re-use in promotional materials require a release.
