University faculty and staff members are considered “Responsible Employees” or “Mandatory Reporters,” which means that they are required to report violations of Title IX to the Title IX Coordinator. I am a Responsible Employee and must report any Title IX-related incidents that are disclosed in writing, discussion, or one-on-one. Before talking with me, or with any faculty or staff member about a Title IX-related incident, be sure to ask whether they are a responsible employee. If you want to speak with someone for support or remedies without making an official report to the university, email advocate@austin.utexas.edu For more information about reporting options and resources, visit titleix.utexas.edu or contact the Title IX Office at titleix@austin.utexas.edu.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
(Faculty: See Moody Cares link on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion site for suggested syllabus language intended to cultivate a more welcoming and inclusive learning environment.)
Religious Holidays
Religious holy days sometimes conflict with class and examination schedules. If you miss a work assignment or other project due to the observance of a religious holy day, you will be given an opportunity to complete the work missed within a reasonable time after the absence. It is the policy of the University of Texas at Austin that you must notify each of your instructors at least fourteen days prior to the classes scheduled on dates you will be absent to observe a religious holy day.
...
In the event of an evacuation, follow the instruction instructions of faculty or class instructors.

Refer to RTF Safety Policy: https://wikisutexas.utexasatlassian.edunet/wiki/display/RTF/RTF+Safety+Policy+-+Film+Productions
Special safety precautions for your crew, actors and others in the area are required if you are undertaking any hazardous activities while filming, including but not limited to ANY driving or horseback/livestock shots, shooting in or around water or heights, or if you are using stunts, flames, pyrotechnics, squibs or simulated weapons. Please note that unlicensed handguns and other real weapons are never permitted in RTF studios or on-location shoots. In addition, you must follow all federal, state, and local laws and the rules of any venue or location at which you are filming regarding hazardous activities, including University of Texas at Austin rules if filming is done on campus.
...
- Most areas around campus are OK to film.
- Incidental shots of campus landmarks may be OK so long as they are used for educational purposes only, i.e., class assignments, and are not publicly screened.
Crediting the Department [Required, For MFA Production
...
and Undergraduate Thesis Classes]
Students must include the department’s logo in the credits for final film projects. There are several versions of the logo—color, knockout (white), grayscale; any will work. UT requires that there be at minimum a shield's worth of distance (width and height) from any other elements. (The "shield" = the graphic element in the logo). Also, don't make the logo too small relative to the rest of the credits.
