Recording Policy 

To record an event, the request must cover each of the requirements below:

  1. Requests for recording require five (5) business days notice, requests will honored on a first-in/first-out basis. 
  2. Media Services staff need a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the event to setup. 
  3. Recordings by Media Services staff are restricted to structured academic lectures only and the recordings must be for Middlebury College events only. 
  4. Recordings by Media Services staff are added to the College’s lecture archive, which is available to the public. 
  5. The recording must take place in a supported recording location (see below).
  6. This service is limited to availability of equipment and technical personnel.
  7. We can’t make exceptions to this policy, though we can offer self-service options or help you outsource your request to a trusted company that can offer you custom service.

If your request meets the requirements above, please submit these two electronic forms:

  1. Each participant being recorded must fill out the Consent & Release form at least 48 hours in advance of the event. The form is available here: go.middlebury.edu/consent
