Students produce The Collegian newspaper, The Collegian Online and The Collegian News Webcast each week during the academic year in the Office of Student Publications.

Student editors are given latitude to select and cover topics of news and exercise final oversight on content, imposing the same restrictions found in the professional world, such as avoidance of libel, invasion of privacy, and copyright infringement.
