Event Recording
Recording Policy
To record an event, the request must cover each of the requirements below:
- Requests for recording require five (5) business days notice, requests will honored on a first-in/first-out basis.
- Media Services staff need a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the event to setup.
- Recordings by Media Services staff are restricted to structured academic lectures only and the recordings must be for Middlebury College events only.
- Recordings by Media Services staff are added to the College’s lecture archive, which is available to the public.
- The recording must take place in a supported recording location (see below).
- This service is limited to availability of equipment and technical personnel.
- 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:
- 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
- The organizer must request recording support by using the form here: go.middlebury.edu/recording (login required)
