Filming & Photography Guidelines
Filming & Photography on Campus
University Marketing and Communications (UMAC) manages filming and photography on campus, including video, film, audio and still photography. Anyone planning to film on the Forty Acres — from students and faculty members to media crews and filmmakers — should review the guidelines for their project type to determine next steps and ensure compliance with University policies and procedures.
Please note: University rules prohibit filming or photographing commercials or advertisements on University property, as well as filming or photography that implies endorsement of a business or organization, including nonprofits. The University reserves the right to refuse or revoke permission to film or photograph on the University of Texas at Austin campus for any reason.
