Can I use the University’s name or logo on merchandise?

The use of the University’s name, logos, seals, and symbols on any merchandise must be approved by the Office of Marketing and Communications. Unauthorized use and/or alteration of name, logo, or designated symbols of the University is strictly prohibited. Excluding University Athletics, Marketing and Communications, and Residence Life, approval from the Office of Student Activities is required for all student and departmental sales, services provided in exchange for resources, and solicitation for support by campus groups, both on and off campus, as well as all on-campus attempts to solicit the University student population by unaffiliated non-profit groups and businesses. Request forms are found at on Engage. Student groups should submit request forms at least two weeks in advance of the beginning of the proposed fundraiser or solicitation. If the solicitation is a campaign to request donations from parents, friends, organizations, or businesses, student groups should submit the request four weeks in advance of the proposed launch of the campaign as additional approval must be granted from the Office of Development.
