Photo and Videotape

PLU takes photographs and video of students throughout the year. These images most often include students in spaces that are typically considered public community spaces at the university. These spaces include, but are not limited to, classrooms, labs, dining spaces, walkways and outdoor spaces, athletic events, and other university activities.

PLU reserves the right to use these photos and videos in the promotion of the University. Students who enroll at PLU do so with the understanding that photos and video of them taken in PLU public community spaces may be used in university publications, newspapers, web, social media, and other communication mediums that may be utilized for promotional purposes. Student public directory information may also be released when describing student involvement in academic and extracurricular activities.

Students wishing to opt out of use of their image for university purposes are asked to communicate that desire formally by filling out the opt out form at:  www.plu.edu/privacyWhen a request for use of personally identifiable student images is made by an entity external to the university, students whose images will be used will be asked, whenever reasonably possible, to complete a formal release indicating agreement for use of their image.
