 Kansas Athletics Communications
Kansas Athletics Communications is happy to serve the working media in any way possible. Our staff will fulfill all reasonable requests.

Football and men's basketball requests must be made online here. Media credentials will be shipped at the outlets' expense. The University of Kansas follows the guidelines set forth by the NCAA and the Big 12 Conference in governing the issuance of credentials. All other credential requests should be submitted to the sport contacts.

We strongly urge you to do so at least two weeks in advance. When making interview requests, please allow at least 24 hours notice. Advance notice on both items will help ensure that your request will be handled efficiently.

To confirm receipt of credential requests or to check the status of a request, please contact Communications office manager Erin Penning at epenning@ku.edu or 785.864.3417.

Interviews
Contact the communications office for all player or coach interview requests. All interviews with student-athletes will take place during weekly press conferences or at designated times after around practice schedules.

Out-of-town media wishing to interview Kansas student-athletes should also contact the communications office with their requests. Home and cell phone numbers for players will not be provided and players have been instructed not to accept calls from media without prior notice from the communications office. Please do not contact a player or coach without scheduling the interview through the communications office.

E-mail
Releases, game notes, advisories, etc., are e-mailed to media that cover Kansas on a regular basis. Media wishing to be added to the e-mail list for a particular sport should contact the communications representative responsible for that sport.

Injury Information
The University of Kansas athletics department will abide by HIPAA - a federal privacy act with regard to the release of injury information. KU athletes will be required to sign a waiver before their injury infomraiont is released to the media.
