Electronic Standards

Electronic publications should have the same consistent look as our print communications. Web and e-mail templates are available to help you achieve that goal. All umn.edu Web sites must use the official Web header and footer.

Definition: A "umn.edu Web site" is a site that represents a campus, college, unit, department, or center, or anything representing official University business. Informal activities conducted on personal Web space are exempt from using the header and footer.

Standards for many forms of electronic communications, including:

• Web standards,
• mass e-mail standards,
• PowerPoint standards,
• digital signage standards,

are all available on the eCommuncation Standards site.
