As part of their enrollment at Xavier University School of Veterinary Medicine (XUSOVM), students acknowledge that the University may photograph, video record, or otherwise capture images and likenesses of students while participating in academic, clinical, extracurricular, ceremonial, community outreach, or University-sponsored activities.
Students grant the University permission to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, and display such photographs, video recordings, names, academic achievements, awards, testimonials, and other non-confidential information for legitimate educational, promotional, marketing, recruitment, accreditation, alumni relations, fundraising, and institutional purposes in print, electronic, digital, social media, website, and other communication formats.
The University will make reasonable efforts to ensure that such materials are used in a professional and respectful manner consistent with the mission and values of the institution.
The University shall not disclose confidential educational records, protected health information, or other information protected by applicable privacy laws without appropriate authorization, except as otherwise permitted by law.
Students who wish to restrict the use of their image or likeness for promotional purposes may submit a written request to the Office of Student Affairs. The University will make reasonable efforts to honor such requests; however, the University reserves the right to use photographs or recordings taken during public events, ceremonies, and group activities where obtaining individual consent may not be practical.
This authorization shall remain in effect throughout the student's enrollment and after graduation unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
