Photography Procedures for Student Journalists

SAITSA maintains a policy to monitor professional photography being shot in its licensed locations. Any one wishing to shoot professional photographs (using a camera with a detachable lens or a video camera) should be aware of the following procedures:

All photographers from on-campus media outlets must obtain permission to shoot professional photos from SAITSA a minimum of 48 hours prior to shooting.
In order to obtain permission, photographers must complete and submit the Professional Photography Approval Form (below). Approved applicants will be given a Press Pass.
Under no circumstances may photographers shoot photos of patrons consuming or holding alcoholic beverages.
Photographers shooting with professional or video cameras in SAITSA operations shall not be permitted on the premises if they are not in possession of a Press Pass.
Weal photographers should contact their Photo Editor for assistance if they will be required to shoot events on a regular basis.
