Photographs, videos, testimonials, or other media may be used by SATC for educational, informational, promotional, advertising, recruiting, website, social media, printed material, or other school-related purposes when SATC has obtained any consent or authorization required for that use.

Where a separate Photo & Media Release or other authorization is required, that authorization will govern SATC’s use of the student’s image, likeness, voice, testimonial, or other identifiable media.

Students with questions regarding the use of their image or media should contact SATC administration.

7. Cookies & Website Analytics
