Guidelines Heading link

  • Messages should address topics of general interest to College of Medicine community
  • Messages should deal with University business (as opposed to personal or commercial interests)
  • Requests received from non-UIC email addresses will generally be automatically rejected
  • Messages are expected to follow the College’s branding guidelines, and those that do not may be rejected.
  • The same message should not be submitted more than once per week or it will be considered spam. An exception would be to send a message early in the week for an event that week and another message the day of the event.

More specific guidelines below:

  • We advise that events be announced with at least three weeks’ notice; reminder notices may be sent closer to the event date.
  • Advertisements for research study participants are welcome.
  • Marketing of our own UI Health clinical services to our employees is allowed.
  • Departments may announce the arrival of new faculty, especially new clinical providers; there is a template for such messages that can be provided to departments.
