General Guidelines

To ensure signage on campus maintains a professional appearance, please adhere to the guidelines below:

  • Signage should contain the contact information and department logo for the sponsoring department. This will help viewers understand who is responsible for the signage.
  • Use current, Marketing-approved department logos. Old or outdated logos will not be approved and will cause the submission to be rejected.
  • Copyrighted content cannot be displayed on UVU's digital signage without the appropriate release from the content owner.
  • Signage must be submitted a minimum of 3 days before the desired starting date. Submit time-sensitive content as early as possible.
  • Campus-wide signage expires after 14 days in circulation. When submitting content through PlaySignage, please set the start and end dates for campus-wide content no more than 14 days apart.
  • Signage must be submitted at specific resolutions to ensure the best appearance on digital signage. Please see the guidelines below for the specific requirements.
