About SAC College Offices and Departments OMSC Test Social Media Guidelines

Social Media Guidelines

Overview

What the guidelines will do

  • Provide San Antonio College faculty and administrative staff with guidelines for using social media in an official university capacity.
  • Ensure that social communications adhere to SAC's core values.

Who the guidelines govern

The guidelines apply to anyone from the SAC community, who oversees and maintains a social media account that represents a department, program, or related entity in an official capacity.

Why we have guidelines

Guidelines help the college establish best practices for organization and uniformity of message and branding while minimizing risk to social media managers.

Who administers the guidelines

San Antonio College's Office of Marketing & Strategic Communications oversees SAC's social media guidelines and its primary social media accounts. MarComm also serves as a resource for members of the campus community who have questions or need guidance on social media best practices. All social media-related questions and inquiries should be directed to MarComm at socialmedia@alamo.edu.
