Public areas of campus buildings are open to the media during the hours that the buildings are open to the public. Media are not required to notify University Communications of a visit to campus, but it’s helpful for us to know you’re here in case we receive calls or questions related to your presence on campus. If you’re entering a public area of a residence hall (such as the lobby or a TV lounge), as a courtesy please let the hall director know you will be there. Find residence hall contact information.
Living areas of residence halls, such as rooms and hallways in the living areas, are not open to the media or the public.
Reporters and photographers can enter a student’s room if given permission by the student. The University Communications staff regularly advises students that they are free to talk with members of the media but are not required to do so. Individual students make their own choices regarding media requests.
Classrooms are not generally open to the media while classes are in session. Individual professors may grant the media access during a class session, but access must be worked out in advance. Contact the professor directly or work through the IMC to request permission.
