Visiting freelance and amateur photographers are not eligible for media credentials, except by approval of Sheehan.

Media Access: Jones Center access for the media is at the entrance in the west lobby of the facility. Press row is located across from the chairback seats behind the south side seating. Per special request, seating may be granted at or near the scorer's table, or along the south sideline of the playing surface.

Interview Policy: During the season, UNCP's coaches are available for in person media interviews prior to practice, but such interviews must be coordinated in advance through the ACO at least one day in advance. UNCP student-athletes are available for interviews in person through the same manner. Interviews done with UNCP's student-athletes must be properly coordinated through Sheehan or Pearce at least one day in advance. Telephone interviews will be granted under special circumstances. No in-person interviews with players or coaches will be granted on game day before the athletic contest takes place. No interviews are to be conducted in the locker room, training room or weight room. Interviews with assistant coaches must be arranged in advance through the Athletic Communications Office as well. Redshirting players are not required to do interviews. All interview requests for UNCP staff and players must be made at least one day in advance.

Postgame Interviews: Following the standard 10-minute cooling off period, UNCP head coaches and/or student-athletes will be available for interviews at prearranged sites at the various home athletic venues. Please note for all UNC Pembroke athletic events, both home and away, UNCP locker rooms are closed to the media. For road contests, please make your interview requests for coaches and players through the UNCP athletic communications office or the host SID and they will be brought to the prearranged interview area.
