Merchandising policy

All merchandise printed with our name and logo shapes the perception of our division and the university—not just on campus but wherever those items appear in the world. The following approval process ensures consistency and thus, better recognition and impact.

All items should follow the guidelines for promotional merchandise outlined by University Marketing & Communications and must be ordered from an approved vendor. In addition, wearable merchandise and environmental signage that represents the Division of Student Affairs and/or any of its departments, must also be reviewed by Student Affairs Marketing & Communications. The division reserves the right to remove from circulation any merchandise that fails to meet university and division standards.
