Digital Advertising

Official USNH entities may advertise goods and services on USNH digital communications platforms as long as it's allowed by USNH policies and benefits the institution. Any other commercial or third-party advertising is not allowed on USNH digital communication tools except as noted below.

Guidelines

Official entities include schools, colleges, departments, university services, centers, institutes, officially recognized groups, and official student organizations. USNH digital communications tools include USNH websites, social media channels, and digital TVs.

Digital Signage TVs 

Digital signage TVs are used around USNH campuses to communicate to the USNH community and visitors about a variety of happenings including events, classes, upcoming deadlines, public service and engagement messages, social media feeds, transportation information, and emergency alerts. The content is filtered by campus and on-campus location and can be tailored to include general campus notifications and/or notifications specific to its exact location. 

Requirements for submitting an ad:

• Only faculty, staff members or leaders of recognized student organizations can post ads. 
• Requests will be taken on a first come, first served basis and scheduled based on availability. 
• If you are using an image, make sure you have the copyright permissions to do so. 
• Reach out to your institution's marketing or communications department with any questions regarding ad content.

Resources

Links that are provided by university entities as part of a "resource" or "guide” " are allowed, but only if they fulfill a need not provided by the institution and do not include promotional content, e.g.:

• Grad school provides links to apartments because the university does not offer comprehensive graduate housing
• Plymouth State provides the CoLab which links to development opportunities for Faculty and Staff that are not available on the PSU campus
