Brand Guide: The College of Charleston athletics official brand guide can be found here.

Media Credentials: All requests for media, broadcast and photo credentials for College of Charleston home games should be sent to the primary sport contact for approval. Approval is not guaranteed. Credentials must be presented to enter College of Charleston sports facilities.

Priority is given to outlets based on circulation size / household reach / unique site visitors. Additional consideration is based on amount of original content generated, number of full-time employees of the outlet, length of existence of the outlet and the journalist experience of the reporter(s).

Finally, priority can be based on attendance at Charleston media sessions, including Olympic sport opportunities and the intention/ability to cover all 19 sports at Charleston also is considered.

Services: Game programs and complete statistics are provided at every game. Records, scores of games in progress, and other pertinent information will be distributed, whenever possible, throughout the game.

Scouting and Photo Credentials: Credentials for photographers and scouting should be requested at least one week in advance of the game. Each organization will be allotted one seat on a space available basis.

Dressing Rooms: The College of Charleston dressing room will be closed to the media before and after games. For home games, the College of Charleston's post-game interviews will be held following a 15-minute cooling off period in a designated location.

Player Interviews: All media request for interviews with College of Charleston players must be directed to the Athletics Communications Department. Players are usually available for telephone interviews early afternoons and evenings, except game days. The best for in-season interviews is before or after practice. This policy allows us to arrange a time that will not interfere with a players academic schedule, which has top priority. With advance notice, interviews can be arranged for other hours.

Coach Interview Time: The College of Charleston Athletics Communications department will coordinate all interviews with the coaches. Interview request should be requested as far as possible in advance.
