- Football
- Volleyball
- Men's and Women's Soccer
- Men's and Women's Basketball

Credential Requirements
Albion College Sports Information will issue credentials to those in a working media capacity, and consider issuing credentials to individuals in a non-media capacity.
Credential requests must be submitted to the Albion College Sports Information department 48 hours before each home athletic event. Having been credentialed at other related events does not guarantee acceptance at Albion College athletic events. In addition, receiving an approved credential for one Albion College sporting event does not guarantee a credential for another Albion College sporting event.
For purposes of these requirements, a member of the media is an individual who is a paid employee or contracted representative of a media organization that covers our athletic department or college athletics. That media member must be engaged in disseminating information to the public through a newspaper, magazine, website, wire service, or another accepted publication, radio, television (network), or other medium of digital or mass communication.
Credential requests will be considered only if they are submitted by the owner, beat reporter, sports editor, sports director/producer, or photo editor. Each application will stand on its own merits.
Receipt of credentials for Albion Athletics' events is a privilege that will only be extended to individuals who abide by these requirements and all reasonable directives of the Albion College Sports Information department.
Credential Use Requirements
Each approved credential is assigned to a specific person who has been accepted through the credentialing process. Credentials may not be loaned out to another individual for any reason. Credentials must be returned to the Sports Information Director at the conclusion of the event. Failure to return the credential will result in loss of credentials for future events.Â
In addition, credentials must be worn and visible at all times during the sporting event. Media must also respect the work environment of the Albion College Athletic Department and team(s), as well as their colleagues, by maintaining a professional atmosphere in all media areas. Photographers and videographers must work within assigned media areas at Albion Athletics facilities.
Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in the loss of credentials for any parties involved moving forward. It will also result in immediate removal from the media areas and the possible loss of credential privileges for future events for the individual and the media agency.
Content Requirements
For media members, all photographs and videos taken at Albion College Athletics events are to be used solely for news reporting or editorial purposes by the credentialed individual.Â
For non-media members, the Albion College Sports Information department reserves the right to free access to all photographs and video taken at Albion College Athletics events, upon request. Non-media members must provide a gallery link to the Albion College Sports Information department within 72 hours of the events conclusion.
Photographs and videos may not be sold under any circumstances.Â
Subject to limitations of space, credentials for photo/video staff members shall be prioritized to outlets requiring immediate news coverage. Non-media requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
