ACCREDITATION GUIDELINES

• Only full-time, salaried employees intending to provide actual game coverage may receive credentials.
• A requesting media agency must represent a collective, organizational editorial voice, not simply the offerings of a single individual.
• Membership in a writer's association does not automatically qualify an agency for credentials.
• A media agency may assign one of its credentials to its online entity.
• An online entity, not associated with a traditional media agency, may qualify for one credential, subject to the following conditions:
  1. An on-line entity may receive a credential only if its own full-time staff writes a majority of that site's material.
  2. Online entities that focus primarily on University of Houston Athletics and sponsor message boards or chat rooms, may receive credentials provided they adhere to a policy that requires that a posted message or opinion is identified with the actual name and city of the individual posting the message.
  3. Any online service that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of delivering news related to the recruitment of student-athletes will not qualify for credentials.
  4. Online entities will not receive photography credentials.
  5. Online entities (other than those identified above) registering 20,000 legitimate unique users per month in each of the past 12 months will be given first consideration.
