Release Forms
As a public institution, the Blinn College District utilizes photos and videos to capture the spirit of campus life and to document College District events. College District staff may take photos, audio, or video recordings at College District-sponsored events that are open to the public, including but not limited to ceremonies, luncheons, celebrations, and other events. Whenever possible, College District staff will accommodate any reasonable request to avoid taking photos or video of individuals who wish to opt out.
Blinn College District staff will make an effort to obtain release forms from all individuals who are depicted clearly in any photograph or video that will be used in any form of advertising. The College District’s Photo/Video Release Form is available at https://my.blinn.edu/marketing. Any minors under the age of 18 who are featured in College District videos must have a release form signed by their parent or guardian.
Usage
The Blinn College District will only use photos and video footage for its own marketing, and will not sell footage to other organizations. Photos and footage may be shared with Blinn College District’s educational partners.
