UAS Social Media Guide and Policies

UAS Social Media Accounts Policy & Approval Process

University of Alaska Southeast has official social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

The creation of new UAS social media sub-accounts on any platform must be approved by the Creative Agency. All existing UAS sub-accounts need to be registered. The intent of this type of policy is to protect the UAS brand, support students, faculty and staff who manage or contribute to UAS sub-accounts, document account information (login info and administrators), and ensure appropriate policies and best practices are in place to protect UAS and sub-account administrators.

This policy and process applies to sub-accounts created by UAS employees for official university organizations, academic departments and programs, etc. It does not apply to private/individual social media accounts. Students representing UAS on UAS sub-accounts are expected to follow these guidelines, under guidance of UAS faculty or staff.

Please contact Katy Jordan, Social Media and Marketing Strategy Coordinator, to discuss account creation and the approval process.
