Filming Approvals On/Off Campus
FILMING IN NU-Q BUILDING
Please make yourself familiar with the NU-Q Campus and Student Filming Policy.
Filming on the NU-Q Campus is permitted only if it does not interfere with normal University business and/or previously scheduled events.
As a student of NU-Q, you are permitted to film on campus if the project is a student production and the crew are fellow students. (A student production is a project that is being filmed as part of a classroom assignment or grant and is not destined for commercial broadcast or other use.)
Filming inside the NU-Q building other than any studio
Notification should be sent to NU-Q Facilities Management (7 business days in advance) to ensure location availability and to ensure there is no conflict.
Filming in and around NU-Q building exteriors
Exterior filming is permitted so long as access to entrances are not impeded and fire escape routes are kept clear. Notification should be sent to NU-Q Facilities Management (7 business days in advance) to ensure there is no conflict.
Stunts/Special Effects
Stunts and/or special effects may be denied while filming on the NU-Q campus depending on risk to the University. For projects posing any risk to community members or facilities, please complete a filming Risk Assessment, found in Appendix A of the Campus and Student Filming Policy and forward to NU-Q HSSE for sign off.
Your NU-Q student ID card must be carried with you at all times while filming.
