Stationery

Official University stationery—business cards, letterhead, and envelopes—is an important part of projecting a unified institutional identity and legitimizes the message or content. The elements that ensure consistency include the wordmark, typeface, type specifications, ink color, and paper (which carries the watermark of the regents seal).

Official stationery must be used for all official University business. Separately incorporated, University-affiliated foundations and alumni associations may use official stationery, but are not required to. Official stationery may not be used for personal business, by students, or by anyone not employed by the University. Registered student organizations may not use official stationery, with the following exceptions:

  • bullet Minnesota Student Association (MSA)
  • bullet Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA)
  • bullet College boards recognized by the Council of College Boards and GAPSA.

Official letterhead may not be personalized. Printing letterhead with department-wide or unit-wide information ensures that it can be used by everyone in that unit. Individualized information can be conveyed with business cards.

Official letterhead, envelopes, and business cards must be ordered through one of the University of Minnesota printing departments listed below.
