Purpose

To establish a standard design format for all stationery materials and to present a consistent image of the campus to external audiences.

Scope

All campus units and all stationery materials, regardless of the source of funds or vendor used for the stationery materials.

Authority

Associate Chancellor for Public Affairs.

Policy

All campus units must use a standardized design format, including paper, inks, campus logos, and typefaces, for all stationery materials. Campus units shall only use campus logos and shall not use unit logos or illustrations on stationery materials. Illini Union Document Services will not supply stationery materials that differ in design or content from the standardized design format. Before a campus unit has an external vendor print stationery materials, the unit must obtain a purchase order number from the Purchasing Division and written confirmation from Public Affairs that the proposed stationery materials conform to these standards. The University will not pay external vendors or reimburse campus units for expenditures using personal funds, petty cash, or other funds for stationery materials that deviate from these standards.

Only University Scholars or professors holding a named chair may have their individual name and the name of the endowed chair printed on letterhead.
