Policy & Procedures

Establishing a University-sponsored account
Administrative offices, academic colleges, schools, departments and research units wishing to establish a University-sponsored social media account should contact us to begin the registration and recognition process. Account username, URL and bio must be approved and a brief orientation with the social media manager must be completed. Login information (username and password) will be kept on file. Facebook pages will be created or moved under the main UofM Meta Business Portfolio. Upon approval, channels will be added to the UofM Social Media Directory. 

• Use a vanity email rather than an employee email (e.g. social@memphis.edu).
• Start the account handle with "uofm" (in most cases).
• Use searchable language in the bio; spell out acronyms.
• Use same handle (e.g. @uofmemphis) across channels when possible.
• Edit Facebook URL to include your handle (e.g. facebook.com/uofmemphis)

Maintenance of accounts
The user may create the new account subject to the terms of this policy and any requirements imposed as a condition of approval. We will periodically review approved sites and reserves the right to revoke or limit approval at any time at our discretion. Channels that have been inactive for more than one year and/or posted fewer than six times within an academic year will be evaluated and submitted for deletion.
