2024 University of Miami Football Media Credential Application:
Single Game Requests Only
Welcome to the University of Miami online media credentialing system. This system is designed to allow you to request credentials efficiently and in a timely manner. Credentials are issued to individuals working on assignment for a legitimate news organization. The system is only accepting single-game credential requests for the time being; the season request window has closed.
To request media credentials for 2024 Miami Hurricanes football home games, please complete the appropriate sections and submit online. APPLICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCESS/CREDENTIAL APPROVAL. Final media policies for the 2024 season will be announced at a later date.
Credential requests should be submitted by the news organization’s assigning editor. News agencies requesting multiple credentials must submit a separate application for each individual. If a parking pass is requested, please be sure to include the email address and phone number of the person whom it is for.
Credentials: The organization’s “Contact” should be prepared to submit a passport size photo (no larger than 100 dpi–passport size) of each “Attendee” during the online application process to expedite the process of securing your organization’s credentials. Those requesting individual game credentials will not need to submit a photo.
Additional Information: Please direct any additional questions to Camron Ghorbi at c.ghorbi@miami.edu.
