Guidelines and Policies

While our community grows on campus, across the nation and online, we want to make sure that our social media users are knowledgeable about their rights and their boundaries.

Any Augusta University affiliated social media accounts that wish to be included in our social media directory must be approved by the Division of Communications & Marketing. Please send a request to be added to socialmedia@augusta.edu, including the URL to the account, a brief description of the account purpose, and a key point of contact who will be responsible for managing the account. This person must be a full-time employee of Augusta University.

Any account representing a student organization must be registered with the Office of Student Life and Engagement.

Dormant & Inactive Social Media Accounts Bearing the Augusta University Name:

Social media channels at Augusta University must be consistently updated and monitored. The Digital Content Team in the Division of Communications & Marketing assesses all affiliated accounts. A social media audit occurs four times a year to monitor accounts and review activity. Accounts that have been inactive for an extended period of time may be subject to deactivation or deletion. Deactivation and deletion will be carried out by contacting and working with appropriate leadership. If you have created or acquired a social media account that bears the Augusta University name or marks, but that account is not used in regular and direct support of institutional priorities, you should take steps to have the account removed from the relevant social network.

Logos and Marks

The use of all logos or marks must adhere to Augusta University Brand Guidelines.
