Standard Elements for Official/Unit Web Pages
Make it clear that your site is part of SUNY New Paltz: Use the SUNY New Paltz logo with the main Web site address underneath it with a link to the SUNY New Paltz home page. (See www.newpaltz.edu/webkit & below for more information.)
Include a contact name and e-mail link. This person must be an employee and not a student.
For time-sensitive data, include on the page the date the page was last modified.
Photography: A photo library is available in Publications. Proper credit must be given for all photography used on the site. [See File Resolution - General Appendix B, and the Editorial Style Guide for more information.]
Appropriate Use of the University logo:
Do not alter the logo in any way (do not make it transparent, change its color or size, etc.).
