Guidelines for Posting Public Information (Web, InfoChannel, etc...)


Return to Department Policies...

The primary purposes of our public information services (InfoChannel, web pages, etc.) is to provide accurate, up-to-date information about activities, to provide campus-based information (e.g., registration) and to provide emergency information to the SUNY Potsdam community (students, staff and faculty).

  1. DCTM reserves the right to refuse any materials submitted for distribution. DCTM reserves the right to edit any materials submitted for distribution.
  2. Non-university events will not be accepted for distribution.
  3. Events at which the primary function is the consumption of alcoholic beverages will not be accepted for distribution. This would include any events scheduled at bars.
  4. Off-campus events sponsored by on-campus groups may be accepted for distribution provided that they meet the above guidelines (e.g., Crane concert at an off-campus local location). Events which are too distant for the university community to attend should not be submitted for distribution, though may be posted to web pages (e.g., Crane concert in Albany).
  5. The affiliation of students, faculty and staff with non-university organizations does not qualify those organizations as having university status.
  6. DCTM may, at its discretion, choose to distribute selected information about activities which occur at Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University, Canton College of Technology, or which are sponsored by the Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley.
  7. While it is appropriate to provide information concerning special events scheduled by PACES, distribution will be limited to a notice of the event and not extensive price lists.
  8. Events which are illegal will not be accepted for distribution (e.g., raffles).
  9. On-campus conferences which are intended for an off-campus audience will not be accepted for distribution.
  10. Information on personal events (birthday, anniversaries, births, etc.) will be accepted at the discretion of DCTM.
