Requests may be made via standard mail, phone or e-mail. Salve Regina reserves the right to accept or reject credential requests for any reason. Credentials will be issued only to accredited members of the working media.

Credentials will be mailed if time permits or may be picked up at the game site. Press passes are non-transferrable.

Access to press areas are well-marked inside their respective facilities.

Photography Guidelines:
All editorial photo requests are handled by Ed Habershaw. The requestor shall forward the following information: requesting editor or writer's name and email address, organization or publication name, deadline information, and a sentence regarding the scope of the story.

To request photo credentials see the Media Credentials section.

Advertising and other commercial or non-athletic photography projects require special permission. Permission to shoot in interior spaces is required in all circumstances. Access to administration and office buildings, classrooms, laboratories, dormitories and residences are not allowed. Also covered under this rule are inside dining areas, private or public.

Press Box Services
The Salve Regina athletic communications office will provide a game program, current press release, pregame statistics, and the conference weekly report prior to the game in each respective media area(s).

Working press, television, multimedia/video and radio crews are assigned space in the press areas. Seating charts will be located throughout each respective facility. Wireless internet access is available in the press box.

Quickie statistics will be provided to all media members as needed.

Postgame Procedures
Following each home football game, the Salve Regina head coach or designated assistant will visit the home broadcast team for an interview. Additional on-field interviews may be conducted by credentialed media members only after clearance from the Salve Regina and/or visiting sports information person.

Final statistics packets, including a scoring summary, individual and team statistics, drive charts and play-by-play, will be made available in the press box.

Postgame procedures for road games are dictated by the host institution.

Salve Regina maintains a strict closed locker room policy both at home and on the road.

Postgame interviews at basketball and ice hockey are conducted outside the coaches offices.

Interviews
Interviews with student-athletes, other than those immediately following a contest, must be arranged through Salve Regina’s athletic communications office, so as not to interfere with the students’ academic schedules.

Please note that student-athletes’ telephone numbers and e-mail addresses will not be released to the media per university policy. If a telephone interview is necessary, arrangements will be made for the student-athlete to call the requesting outlet. Game-day interviews will not be granted until the conclusion of the contest.

It is not permissible to contact Salve Regina student-athletes and/or staff via social media.

Radio Broadcasts
Stations wishing to broadcast Salve Regina athletic events must make arrangements through the athletic communications office at least two weeks in advance of the requested game.

There is one analog phone line available at the Rodgers Recreation Center for visiting stations, and a maximum of four credentials will be provided for any broadcast crew.

Photographers/Television Crews
Arrangements should be made with the athletic communications office for anyone who wishes to film Salve Regina games. Sideline passes will be mailed if time permits or available at the game site. Only credentialed media members will be permitted on the sideline.
