U.Ed. procedures

As a general rule, all promotional publications and marketing materials must be reviewed by the Office of Communications and assigned a University Editor (U.Ed.) number before they can be published or distributed.

Items that should have a U.Ed. number (and the requisite review and approval) include the following:

• Recruitment materials
• Brochures
• Flyers
• Posters
• Catalogs
• Calendars
• Schedules of events
• Booklets
• View books
• Invitations
• Annual reports
• Magazines

The following items do not require a U.Ed. number or review:
