UT Tyler Logos and Registered Trademarks 
The official logos and the name of The University of Texas at Tyler are trademarked, and each use must be approved to ensure compliance with UT System and university policies.  

Video Recording and Photography on Campus
Several state laws, Regents’ Rules, and The University of Texas at Tyler policies govern photography or filming on campus, including a Regents’ Rule that provides requirements for filming television productions on campus (Rule 80107). For more specific information on television productions, see the Lights, Camera, Action, Lawyer! article at Lights, camera, action... scripting internal audit for a ... - UT System.  

There may be a requirement to  

  • obtain a permit for filming or photography, 
  • obtain insurance, and  
  • obtain releases from persons who may appear in the photograph or film. 

Some campus images, such as the Riter Millennium Carillon Bell Tower and the Turtle (East Texas Watch Dog), are iconic images and permission must be obtained from Marketing & Communications (M&C) if to be used professionally. 

No photography or filming for a political advertisement can occur on campus, nor does the use of any institutional logos or trademarks in political advertisements. If unsure about the intended use of the photograph or film, ask for clarification from the candidate or officeholder. 

Please do not use personal cell phones to capture or record minors in any capacity.

Marketing & Communications (M&C) provides promotional support for upcoming events. News releases, newspaper advertising, and the use of The University of Texas at Tyler’s name and logo must be approved by M&C. The university website and university social media are also available for promotion of your event through M&C.  

Online Promotion of Your Event  
There are online public calendars available to share event information if they meet the guidelines set forth by M&C. See below for examples.

Helpful Information 
According to American Camp Association, it is best to start marketing your camp at least 8 weeks (about 2 months) prior to any deadlines. For example: Your event starts June 1, but the housing deadline is May 1, which means you start marketing by March 1.
