PromoTV

Style Guide and Policies

"PromoTV" is a service provided to campus organizations and departments by Admissions, Athletics, Atwood, Campus Recreation and Residential Life.  It was created to promote upcoming events and to get our critical information to the SCSU community.  The four sponsoring departments will also use the system for internal messages in their own facilities.

All five departments will often accept other messages from the campus community based on the policies below.  Due to space limitations, all five departments reserve the right to prioritize messages and limit submittals from campus departments and organizations.

Policies for Campus Submittals

  1. Sponsoring organization should be listed on any message that may generate questions.
  2. To reduce message quantity to a manageable number, messages will only be run for 7 days.  PromoTV managers in each building will make exceptions for special events.
  3. Messages will be limited to SCSU departments and organizations or an outside organization that is sponsoring their event on campus.
  4. Messages that promote events at bars or promote alcoholic beverages will not be allowed. 
  5. Advertised events must be open to all the SCSU community.
  6. Due to space limitations, messages promoting weekly or monthly meetings will be a low priority and will generally not be displayed.

Suggested Style Guide

  • No more than 15 words (more words makes the fonts too small)
  • Abbreviate days of week and months (example:  Fri., Sept. 12)
  • Time format:  7 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (no zeroes on the hour, space after number, use periods with a.m./p.m.)
