NOTICE
No purchase of letterhead, envelopes or business cards will
be approved or reimbursed to departments or individuals if
it is not from an approved or contract printer. If you have
questions about vendors and their responsibility to meet our
Graphic Standards, please visit our approved
vendors section or contact a Purchasing or University
Publications staff member. |
Graphic Standards policy
Rowan University visual
communications must bear the University name and logo and be
consistent with uniformly high professional standards in content
and appearance. This policy includes all colleges, schools, departments,
offices and units of the University and all individuals representing
the University.
Visual communications include stationery (letterhead, note cards,
envelopes, business cards, fax cover sheets), A/V presentations,
publications, building signs, vehicle graphics, name badges,
imprinted apparel and promotional items, advertisements, compact
disks, photocopied materials and Web sites.
Also in this group
are any materials that are paid for (including by reimbursement)
in part or wholly by University funds or public and private
grant funds awarded to the University and funds given for
University purposes through the Rowan University Foundation.
Policy Exemptions
Certain programs and affiliates of the University are exempt
from using the University logo—although they must still
comply with standards for design, writing, editing, websites,
printing and other forms of production. These
exemptions are permitted because, while the entities significantly
reflect institutional value, their own missions and identities
are related to but distinct from the University’s as identified
by their 501 (C) 3 status. No other academic or administrative
units may use these entities’ logos to identify themselves
or the University. Each exempt entity governs use of its own
visual identity (with the prior advice and consent of the University).
