Business Card Instructions
All Angelo State University business cards will need to be replaced with the new design, logo and tagline by Sept. 1. All departments (academic, administrative and athletic) will follow the same format.
Current business cards are to be recycled after Aug. 31. Instructions on how to handle materials for recycling and locations where these materials can be delivered will be provided later.
As a service to all departments, the Communications and Marketing Office will waive normal setup fees for the redesign of business cards. Your cost will be strictly for printing and cardstock. The minimum the Print Shop will print is 250 cards. Cost will be $8.72.
The new design is available for viewing on the Transition website under the "Publications"link.
Transition Policy:
All business cards will be printed on both sides. The front side will include department name; street address or building name with room number; employee name; employee title; mailing address; phone number; and e-mail address. The front side may also include, when deemed appropriate by the department, a fax number, web address and home/cell phone number.
Business card policy also allows departments to print on the back additional university information, such as phone numbers, web addresses and other departments as a convenience to students and prospective faculty and staff. All departments not opting to include that information will print on the back of the card the university name, tagline and web address.
Follow these rules regarding titles, degrees and certifications:
- No courtesy titles, including Mr., Mrs., Ms. and Dr., are allowed.
- Faculty and administrators may list a terminal degree or their highest graduate degree after their names.
- Clinical faculty may use their highest degree and licensure and/or certification for identification in clinical settings at off-campus medical facilities.
- Certifications and/or licensures may be used, but should be kept to a minimum.
- Staff members may list a graduate degree after their names.
Instructions:
As all business cards will need to be replaced to reflect our new TTUS affiliation, we will need to queue jobs as new templates are available so as not to overwhelm the Print Shop with an unmanageable job this summer. To accommodate this process, to help make this an orderly process, please follow the following procedures:
- 1. Departments should submit all of their business cards for replacement at one time.
- 2. Complete a Publication Request Form (PRF) signed by the department head.
- 3. Attach to the PRF current business cards of department employees eligible to have business
cards with any changes written on the current card.
- 4. Submit the Publication Request Form directly to Communications and Marketing. If a vice presidential
signature is needed, Communications and Marketing will secure it.
- 5. After new cards have been set up, a proof of all the department´s cards will be returned to
the department head, who will be responsible for proofing or seeing that employees proof their own cards.
- 6. Once all the cards have been approved, return the proof to the Communications and Marketing Office
with a signed proof sheet.
- 7. If changes are required, they will be made and returned to departments for a second review.
- 8. Once the final review is completed, Communications and Marketing will put the department´s business cards on
the network drive accessible to the Print Shop and notify the department that the job is ready for
printing.
- 9. The department will then be responsible for completing a Print Shop requisition and submitting it to
the Print Shop to complete the job.
Do not wait until the end of summer to submit your order if you have new people coming on board. Those business cards will be printed later.
