Any other college or departmental citations or awards bearing the seal must be awarded by a process overseen by a vice president or dean and must be signed by that person. The vice president or dean has the responsibility for ensuring that the award merits use of the seal. The seal may be used on invitations and printed programs if the president, a vice president, or a member or an officer of the Board of Regents will be present and participating in an official capacity. The seal may be used in publishing official University policies approved by the Board of Regents and policies that bear the authority of the regents or the central administration. For all other publications use the University wordmark, which was designed to fill the need for a contemporary graphic mark.
Departments often present gifts of appreciation and recognition to employees or volunteers.
Many gift products featuring the regents seal have been created by licensed vendors and are sold at University Bookstores. While such products are very popular, please remember that they do not imply board authorization and are not official unless accompanied by a printed document signed by the president, a vice president, a chancellor, a dean, or a member or officer of the Board of Regents. The seal may not be used on vehicles. The seal must be used whole, with no alterations. Highlighting parts of the seal with color is reserved for diplomas only.
