Creating Social Media Accounts

All officially recognized University accounts must be approved by a department head and registered with the Department of External Relations and Communications.

Each social media page must have a University faculty or staff member listed as an administrator. This individual will be responsible for the creation and maintenance of fresh, relevant content. Students should not be sole page administrators for official University units.
