ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ graphic identity guidelines exemption application

Requests for exemptions from ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ graphic identity guidelines will be reviewed by the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ Graphic Identity Committee and approved by the chancellor sparingly. Any unit applying for an exemption must make a compelling argument that goes beyond funding sources. Before applying for an exemption, please consider the following questions: 

  • Does funding for your school/department/center/program come from ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½, an external agency or both?
  • Which entity is better known: ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ or your school/department/center/program?
  • Does using the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ logo violate laws, contractual agreements or regulations imposed by an external agency?
  • Does your school/department/center/program use ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ resources?
  • How important is the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ association to incoming students, funding agencies or your target audience?
  • How similar are ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ and your school/department/program in personality and mission?
  • Do you have adequate resources to market and promote your school/department/program on your own?
  • Would using the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ logo substantially hinder your communications goals?
