Notes:

People who appear in submitted photographs must give their permission for the university to use their photo or likeness in publications, on the web or for release to the media. It is your responsibility as a photographer to obtain that permission from each person in your photographs. The photo/video image release form (PDF) is available here to download. Please fill out and bring with your photo to the office of Public Affairs.

Prints may be submitted for publications, news releases and the web. Submitted photos will be scanned and returned after publication. Public Affairs reserves the right not to use any print that does not meet acceptable standards for composition and quality.

No copyrighted photos may be used by our office without written permission from the studio owner or individual photographer who owns the right to the photo. Do not submit copyrighted material, identified by a word mark, logo or name on the photo face or back, to be used for publication or release without having obtained written permission to use the photo.

Please keep in mind all the ways your photo may be used in conjunction with news and publicity. Often a news release is reprinted or edited to appear in another university publication, so the accompanying photo needed needs to be of the highest resolution possible.
