At the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES), we collect likeness releases and FERPA consent forms to ensure compliance with federal law and university policy. These forms help us highlight our programs while safeguarding student privacy.

FERPA consent is required when a photo, video or audio recording clearly features a student in a recognizable and identifiable way, particularly (but not exclusively) when that media will be used for marketing, promotional or public-facing materials.

If you plan to take photos or record videos of students for websites, marketing materials or outreach projects, please review the FERPA guide on the UGA CAES Brand Guidelines website. There, you can access the digital CAES FERPA consent form and you will find answers to frequently asked questions and instructions for collecting the necessary forms.
