Social Media Policy

Does your department, program, or unit use a social media account like Facebook and Twitter? Or, is your unit considering creating one? CSU recognizes the need for a strong presence in the social media realm. The University encourages colleges, departments, programs, groups, and entities to join the social media age and create social media accounts to build enriching relationships.

Colorado State has a social media policy and application process in place to ensure that any and all interactions on behalf of CSU represent the University’s best interests. All social media accounts affiliated with a CSU unit are required to adhere to the policy and must be registered with the CSU Social Media Directory.

The social media policy only applies to social media accounts that represent CSU entities and does not apply to personal accounts.
