CEI Campus TV Slide Guidelines
CEI’s campus TVs keep students informed about events, opportunities, deadlines, and resources. Slides rotate throughout the day and should share information that is relevant to students and easy to understand at a glance.
For CEI Use Only
CEI’s campus TVs and outdoor marquee are reserved for college-sponsored events, programs, services, and announcements. Requests must come from CEI employees or recognized student clubs through the appropriate college request process.
These displays are not available for public submissions, outside advertising, or promotion of activities unaffiliated with CEI.
What Can Be Promoted?
Campus TV content may include:
- Campus events and student activities.
- Club meetings and opportunities to get involved.
- Registration dates, scholarship deadlines, and other important reminders.
- Student services and resources.
- Program highlights and student achievements.
Campus TVs primarily serve students already on campus. Consider what students need to know and what action you want them to take.
Slide Specifications
- Size: 1920 × 1080 pixels, landscape orientation.
- Display time: 10 seconds per slide.
- Text: Large enough to read from a distance.
- Fonts and colors: Use CEI-approved fonts and brand colors.
- Background: Use strong contrast between the text and background.
Design Guidelines
Keep messages brief and focused. Students may only glance at the screen as they walk by.
Include only the essential details, such as the event name, date, time, location, and a short call to action. Avoid long paragraphs, small text, and crowded layouts. A full flyer usually contains too much information for a TV slide and should be simplified for the screen.
Need Design Help?
Creative Services can help create a slide that meets CEI’s branding and display requirements. Submit a Creative Services ticket with your content, event details, and requested deadline.
If you create your own slide, follow the specifications above. Graphics may need revisions before they can be displayed.
How to Submit a Slide for Display
Submit a ticket through the IT Help Desk Portal and select New Ticket > Marketing > Campus TV’s.
Include:
- Your completed graphic.
- The requested display start and end dates.
Submit requests as early as possible to allow time for review, any needed revisions, and scheduling.
Coordinating Promotion Across Channels
Campus TVs, the outdoor marquee, and social media serve different audiences and have separate request processes. A campus TV request does not automatically include social media coverage.
For additional promotion, review the relevant guidelines and submit a request for each channel.
