Announcement Guidelines

From SAI Wiki

Just some guidelines for “Announcement” email requests:

1. I have to submit announcement requests to Computer Services no later than 10am for it to go out that same day; HOWEVER,

2. I am not always able to get to last minute requests, although I do try; THEREFORE,

3. To assure that an email announcement gets out in a timely manner, please do your best to give me a day or two AT LEAST of advance notice of when you want the announcement to go out. I realize there will be some last minute things, but I would appreciate some advance notice whenever possible.

4. AS WELL, Computer Services does NOT permit graphics of any kind in an announcement, although you can spruce up an announcement with different font sizes, color font, etc. I’ve received a lot of these lately and I cannot steal the time to retype them in the format Computer Services is requesting so I will have to send them back to you for

5. PLEASE be sure to include your audience in the request (students, staff, faculty); AND

6. The date(s) you would like the announcement to go out (although they will not continually send an announcement over and over to what they consider extreme).

7. ALSO, don’t forget about other means of advertising your events as we all know that some students, and faculty/staff, ignore the constant barrage of emails (Times, posters, etc. are other options).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Brenda
