Guidelines for photography and filming on campus

The University Communications team is responsible for reviewing, approving, and coordinating all requests for film, video, and photography. The following guidelines outline the process for obtaining permission and assistance in filming or photographing on campus. All inquiries should be made to the University Communications team rather than to individual departments. 

Students with a valid RMIT Vietnam ID card are allowed to take photos or film on campus, in both public and restricted areas, using professional cameras or smart devices accompanied by additional gear, provided the content is for their projects, courses, or work related to RMIT. 

Please obtain approval from your lecturer (for students), or Student Clubs coordinator (for student clubs), complete the request form, and attach your approval email when sending the form to Communications at communications@rmit.edu.vn at least 5 weekdays in advance.
