Unauthorized Recording Policy

Saint Peter’s University students are not permitted to record and/or take photographs of other members of the University community without the knowledge and consent of the individual being photographed or recorded. Students with a registered disability that requires recording as an accommodation may record in their classes once the Office of Disability Services notifies the professor. Classmates do not need to be notified nor can the professor deny permission to the disabled student with this approved accommodation. Please see the Office of Disability Services for additional information. In addition, audio recording of private meetings for purposes of record-keeping or later reference (i.e. recording of interviews by reporters for the Saint Peter’s Tribune or students working on a project) is permitted only if all participants are fully-informed that recording is planned and consent is given by each participant. Audio recording of certain student club/ organization events and meetings may be permitted with the consent of the club/ organization in accordance with its constitution, rules, and guidelines, and with permission from the Center for Leadership & Engagement. Certain events such as performances may be restricted on a case by case basis in accordance with the contractual obligations agreed between the University and the performer. Failure to comply with this policy may result in student conduct action that is reflective of the severity of the policy violation.
