School Media Credential Request

Use the form below to request a School Media Credential through the CHSAA office. 

By submitting this media credential request, the school, through its appropriate liaison, is agreeing to the following regarding the issuance and use of the CHSAA Media/Photo Pass:

Member schools of the Colorado High School Activities Association request that the CHSAA Office issue all-activities credentials to working members of the media in covering their events. These credentials, issued each school year, entitle the bearer entry to all regular season, tournament and playoff events conducted by the CHSAA member school when providing written, broadcast or photographic coverage of the event.

The CHSAA has high expectations for any person(s) with a media credential. These expectations address the ethical and appropriate demands of a large and diverse membership.

The proper use and issuance of all CHSAA media passes is the responsibility of the school. When the school submits its credential request, that school is agreeing to the CHSAA School Employee Media/Photo Pass Policy. The school is required to agree/certify that:

1. The school liaison has read the CHSAA School Employee Media/Photo Pass Policy and the CHSAA Media Handbook in its entirety and is familiar with its contents;
2. CHSAA Media Passes are the property of the Colorado High School Activities Association;
3. It has properly vetted its representatives and no representative for which a pass has been requested has been convicted of any sexual or inappropriate conduct with minors;
4. Any unauthorized use of the pass(es) will result in the revocation of current credentials and non-issuance of future passes;
5. Passes may be revoked by individual schools, school districts or CHSAA personnel for unauthorized use, or inappropriate actions.

Further the CHSAA membership has a right to expect bearer of the CHSAA Media Pass to exhibit professional behavior, respect student privacy, provide truth, accuracy, fairness and impartiality in his/her reporting, and accept accountability for his/her actions while covering CHSAA events.

No passes will be issued within 48 hours of an event. Please plan ahead!
