Signage Policy for College of Nursing Building

Traditional Signage

• Only signs/flyers/posters directly pertaining to UI, the College of Nursing, health care, other health science colleges, or the nursing profession in general should be posted on the college’s bulletin boards and dedicated  CNB signage areas (unless otherwise approved by the dean).
• Only clearly articulated signs/flyers/posters that have a professional appearance should be posted (OCM can assist with the creation of CNB flyers; see Traditional Signage “Process”).
• Any signage that does not meet the above criteria may be removed at any time.

Process for Traditional Signage

• Contact Jill Hartz or Bill Donahue in F&O to inform staff of your intent to post signage.
• F&O staff will discuss availability and potential placement considerations within CNB.
• Contact OCM if you would like assistance in creating a flyer for display in the College of Nursing Building.
• Requests to OCM should be submitted via a thorough, clearly articulated email (to formally document the request).
• OCM staff will review your request and contact you if additional information is needed.
• OCM will provide you and/or your supervisor with a proof of signage and await formal approval (formal approval should be acknowledged via email to document authorization).
• Please allow at least five business days for the creation of any new flyers*

*turnaround times may vary depending on workflow volume at the time of your request; if printing needs cannot be met in-house, please allow an additional nine business days to receive your order from UI Printing Services

Digital Signage

• Only information (text, photography and videos) pertaining to UI, the College of Nursing, health care, other health science colleges, or the nursing profession in general should be displayed on the college’s digital signage system: AxisTV (unless otherwise approved by the dean).
• AxisTV digital signage should be used to share information and to promote programs and initiatives involving the university and the College of Nursing.
• OCM is responsible for editing and posting content on AxisTV (OCM can also assist with creating content; see Digital Signage “Process”).
• For the complete CON Digital Signage Policy, including content guidelines, recommended text formats, processes (including requests for posting information) as well as the types of graphics and audiovisual files compatible with AxisTV click here [1]

Process for Digital Signage

• OCM staff will routinely communicate with CON faculty and staff (e.g., Research) to ensure digital signage needs are being met.
• In terms of system compatibility, PowerPoint should be used to create content for display in AxisTV.
• Only official College of Nursing, OCM-approved PowerPoint templates should be used (these templates are accessible on the college’s shared drive in the “Identity” folder).
• Once the design is finalized, the PowerPoint slide should be saved as a JPG (this will alleviate load time on the server).
• Email the JPG to OCM for placement into AxisTV.
• Contact OCM if you need assistance with creating a slide for AxisTV.
• Requests to OCM should be submitted via a thorough, clearly articulated email (to formally document the request) as soon as details for the slide are finalized.
• OCM staff will review your request and contact you if additional information is required.
• Please allow at least three business days for the creation (design and content) of any new slide*

*if only content and/or design changes to an existing or previously used slide are needed, less time may be needed (as always, turnaround times may vary depending on workflow volume at the time of your request)
