AQ Blogging/Social Media Guidelines
Aquinas College supports and encourages the use of blogs and social media* by College departments/programs.
 
Users must recognize that:
  • All information posted on a College department/program blog and/or social media site must: be in compliance with the College's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and all other College policies, follow acceptable social behaviors and comply with federal and state regulations.
  • College department/program blogs and social media websites/pages created in the College's name are representatives of Aquinas College and therefore subject to the guidelines, policies and branding of the College.
  • College Representatives can and do monitor these websites regularly.
When considering creating a College department/program blog and/or Twitter site, users are asked to contact ITS for assistance in setting up the page to match the look and feel of the College's branding and website.

  5. Edit your video.
  6. Once your video is complete, submit it to the Instructional Technology Coordinator.
  7. The Instructional Technology Coordinator will review the video for content (copyright issues, inappropriate content, etc.) and format the video for YouTube/web use.
