As a reminder, the University does have an UAS (drone) policy.

Drake is within five miles of the Des Moines International Airport. This proximity to the airport creates a no-fly zone unless several approvals are obtained to meet FAA regulations. Those requirements can be found online, and the B4U Fly Map App is online at www.faa.gov/uas/where_to_fly/b4ufly/ 

There is also a formal Drake UAS approval process to fly on campus that must also meet FAA regulations and requirements. The approval process can be found here.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.
