How to submit an announcement to BLUEview Network digital signage

Step-by-step Instructions

Submission Guidelines

The BLUEview Network is used as part of a greater internal communications strategy. It offers information for students, faculty, staff and visitors, including announcements, events, action items, and other important information. Priority is given to emergency communications to support the safety of our campus community at all times.

To help create and enhance an inclusive and welcoming environment, the following messaging will not be accepted: 

• Sexually suggestive, derogatory, discriminatory, deceptive, or inflammatory material.

• Fundraising advertisements or sponsorships for any initiative not directly associated with the college or the university. 

• Events not associated with the college or university or that do not provide a benefit to students.

• Religious messages that are not linked to a specific event or purpose. 

• Messages not in accordance with university policies. 

• References to the sale or consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs. 

• Messages that benefit an individual for personal or commercial profit. 

• Advertisement of commercial products or services. 

• Messages that include copyrighted or trademarked works of others without their written permission. 

• Political messages for candidates or local, state or federal measures and bills.

Clubs and/or organizations recognized by the Student Association may submit content for the BLUEview Network. This information can include recruitment notices, announcements of new clubs, and campus-wide events. Ongoing club information (e.g., monthly meeting notices) will not be accepted, as its relevance is limited primarily to club members.

The university and specifically the Office of Marketing and Communications reserve the right to edit submitted material, determine what is appropriate for posting, and choose when a posting will appear in the rotation.
