Social media is an important communication tool for Stanislaus State. These channels allow us to share the University’s story, connect with our communities and strengthen relationships across campus and beyond.
This guide supports departments, programs and affiliated groups as they plan, launch and maintain a social media presence that reflects the University’s mission and values. Whether you are just getting started or looking to elevate your existing channels, you will find tools, best practices and expectations to help you represent the University with clarity, consistency and care.
These guidelines are used by the University’s main social media accounts and serve as the foundation for how we communicate as Stan State across all platforms.
Register Your Social Accounts
If you have an established account, please register it with the Office of Strategic Communications & Marketing (MarCom). Registration ensures brand alignment, security and accessibility, and connects you with long-term support.
Training & Support
Before creating a social media account, please take time to review the full Social Media Guide (Getting Started, Branding, Identity & Naming, Content Standards, Moderation & Security, Accessibility) and the resources provided throughout this site. Many common questions about planning, naming, accessibility, content and moderation are addressed here and can help set you up for success.
Start with the training video; it provides an overview of expectations, accessibility requirements and University branding considerations.
Contact Us
After reviewing the guidelines and training video, if you have additional questions or would like support, whether you’re launching a new account, refining your strategy or navigating a challenging situation, we’re here to help.
