Solicitation, Postings, Film/Photography, and Special Use Guidelines
Filming, Photography, and Recordings
To ensure a safe, respectful, and private living environment, University Housing Services enforces strict guidelines regarding all forms of filming, photography, and audio
recording within the residential facilities, including all residence halls, the Dining Commons, outdoor recreational spaces (pool and courts), and outdoor seating spaces
within North Village.
Prohibited Activities
Residents and guests may not film, photograph, or record video or audio within residence halls and outdoor recreational and lounge spaces, including but not
limited to hallways, lounges, bathrooms, lobbies, elevators, stairwells, and shared living spaces, without prior written permission.
In accordance with Section II.B.7 of the University Housing Services License Agreement, residents may not use the residential facilities (inclusive of the Dining
Commons), their bed space or residential unit to conduct business activities, including content creation intended for monetization or commercial use.
This includes, but is not limited to:
• Live streaming on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Instagram Live, TikTok Live, etc.
• Filming or producing monetized videos or podcasts within the residence halls.
• Using the unit as a backdrop for business promotions, sponsorships, or endorsements
• Using the unit to host recording sessions
• Recording, mixing, or producing music using professional-grade equipment
• Listing the residential address as a business or brand location.
Residents who wish to pursue creative or digital media projects are encouraged to seek digital studio spaces or music recording facilities within the Sacramento
community.
Personal Devices
The use of mobile phones, cameras, tablets, or streaming equipment used for filming (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Twitch, etc.) is not permitted if
others may be seen or heard in the recording unless explicit consent is obtained.
Privacy Considerations
Recording devices may not be hidden or used to monitor others (residents, guests, or staff). This includes the use of webcams, surveillance apps, or similar
technologies.
Approval Process
Residents wishing to film for a class project must submit a North Village Filming & Photography Request Form at least 5 business days in advance and receive
written approval from the Associate Director of Residential Education. Other requests for filming, photography, visual/audio recording can also be submitted
noting that recording, filming or photography that is directly related to a business, personal earnings and promotion will not be approved.
Violations
Residents found in violation of this policy may result in conduct sanctions, removal from housing and/or referral to the Office of Student Conduct and
Academic Integrity.
