Guidelines for Filming/Photography On Campus

Augsburg College annually receives a number of requests from on- and off-campus about individuals or organizations seeking to film on campus for private and/or commercial use.

In an effort to better manage and navigate the inquiries, a cross-departmental team of staff reviewed the many manners in which inquiries are received, considered liability and risks associated with third-party filming/photography, and reaffirmed that the primary task of faculty and staff is to serve current and prospective students.

With that in mind, the team developed guidelines and a contract for filming/photography. Both are designed to put the interests of the College and students first, while also recognizing the potential value of allowing access to our campus by third parties for filming/photography.

It's important to note that the guidelines are not meant to limit projects for class that are undertaken at the direction of faculty or to negatively impact long-standing partnerships, for instance, in departments that contract with outside vendors to develop content that will be used by the College. Examples include departments such as Athletics, which regularly contracts with vendors to film athletic contests or Institutional Advancement, which contracts on special projects.

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the guidelines, located at http://www.augsburg.edu/news/filming-on-campus/

Questions about this information -- and any inquiries by outside entities to film on campus -- can be directed to Stephanie Weiss, director of news and media services.
