Filming on campus

For events or activities that involve filming anywhere on campus, an assessment and approval is required by the appropriate teams within the University.

Before approval for filming can be given, consideration is needed to ensure that filming does not impact teaching or other key University activities.

For filming on campus:

  • That is directly for news or media
  • By University students where the filming is required directly as part of their studies

Requests for clearance to film should be emailed to the University’s Communications team, at mediateam@auckland.ac.nz.

For all other filming, including commercial filming

This includes advertisements, films, TV shows, and other productions that will be screened beyond the University for promotional, entertainment, commercial, or revenue-generating purposes.

Will will need to submit the External Filming Request Form. Before submitting your request it is highly recommended that you read the University’s Guidelines for filming on campus.

Once submitted, the filming request form will be received by the University’s Event Compliance Group (ECG), who will review and respond with guidance, advice and next steps. Filming may not proceed until approval is received from ECG.

If you have any other questions or require further information, please email ecg@auckland.ac.nz
