��ݮ��Ƶ

��ݮ��Ƶ’s campus, including its grounds, buildings, classrooms, and dormitories, are private property. Except as permitted by and in compliance with this Policy, you may not shoot film, photos, or video, or make audio recordings (all of which, for convenience, are referred to in this Policy as “filming”) on campus.

The Marketing and Communication Office (Marketing), in consultation with other College stakeholders, is responsible for granting or denying requests to film on campus. The College reserves the right to deny approval of any filming for any reason. When filming is approved, Marketing will coordinate the College’s support for the project, including required supervision. Approval by the College may be revoked at any time if the College concludes that the filming interferes with College operations, is disruptive to faculty, students, staff, or visitors, or otherwise is not in the best interests of the College. All persons who are permitted to film on campus pursuant to this Policy are required to follow current Marietta Public Health and Guest policies.

Personal, Non-Commercial Use

Students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and other campus visitors are free to film on campus for their own personal, non-commercial use, provided that the filming poses no risk to public safety and does not disrupt College faculty, students, staff, or visitors. This photography and/or filming is limited to hand-held and tripod photography. Formal approval or supervision by Marketing is not required.

Press and News Media

Members of the press and news media who wish to access campus to film interviews or b-roll should email marketing@marietta.edu for permission. Please provide your name and outlet and specify the nature of your request and dates you wish to be on campus.

College Business

Administrative staff members of the College who are engaged in official business on behalf of the ��ݮ��Ƶ may film on campus for purposes of creating materials for use by the particular department or business unit, such as marketing and promotional materials. Relevant model/image releases must be signed by all identifiable subjects. Before the materials can be used publicly, they must be approved by Marketing.

Academic and Scholarly Work

Marietta students and faculty may film on campus solely for academic purposes, including teaching, coursework, research, and scholarly work, in each case subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by the College to ensure public safety, to protect persons and property, to avoid interference with College activities and operations, and to comply with statutory, contractual, and other legal obligations. Students and faculty may not film on campus for any commercial purpose.

All Other Filming

All other individuals, organizations, non-profits, corporations, and other entities that wish to request permission to film on campus must complete and submit the ��ݮ��Ƶ Request for Permission to Film form (see below). Typically, Marietta’s campus and buildings are devoted to instruction, research, and public service, therefore the College ordinarily does not permit filming on campus for commercial or other for-profit purposes. Similarly, the College does not permit filming on campus of any commercials, advertisements, or other forms of endorsement. All filming on campus must comply with the reasonable directions and guidance of Marketing, and must conform to the following requirements:

• You must complete and submit the College’s Request for Permission to Film (see below) at least two weeks prior to your proposed filming date.
• You must sign ��ݮ��Ƶ’s standard Location Agreement. The College will not sign any other location agreement. Requests for changes to the Location Agreement will be submitted for review to MC’s general counsel, which may significantly delay the process.
• You may not film inside classrooms, residential buildings, dining facilities, athletics facilities, or other indoor community spaces or places where public access is limited for reasons of safety, security, or privacy.
• You may not film a person in an identifiable manner unless you first have obtained that person’s express consent. If the person is a Marietta student, you must use a written consent form that has been approved in advance by the MC’s general counsel.  
• You may not use the College’s names, logos, trademarks, or identity, including recognizable College locations, imagery, and prominent community members, unless such use has been specifically approved in writing by ��ݮ��Ƶ. Requests for any such approval should be submitted to Marketing at  marketing@marietta.edu.
• If you are requesting that the College permit you to film on campus for commercial or other for-profit purposes, you must submit, in addition to the Request for Permission to Film form, a written description or synopsis of the production, the final script, and any treatments, storyboards, or other production-related materials, all of which must provide a detailed, accurate, and complete description of the production.
