College administration is authorized to define the terms and circumstances under which employees, including faculty members and student employees, may use social media to represent the College, communicate College policy, represent an official College position, or use social media to the extent that such activities are covered by existing College policies and procedures, take place during work hours, or may be construed as official representations of the College.

All officially recognized College social media accounts must be approved by the Office of Marketing and Communications prior to going live, must provide administrative access to the Office of Marketing and Communications, and must abide by guidelines set by the Office of Marketing and Communications. College-sponsored social media accounts are bound by FERPA and other privacy regulations; therefore, students who are individually publicized through social media, including students identified in photo captions, must have a signed publicity release on file.
