   Provost or a Vice President
- Digests are scheduled and emailed on Monday and Thursday mornings

Guidelines for Campus Horn

Please note that Campus Horn announcements are not secured - that is, non-CSU web-surfers will be able to read all postings.

The format of announcements cannot be guaranteed since they are viewed through the Internet. The Campus Mail Bag Administrators will NOT format announcements.

Procedure:

1) Create an email that includes the following:
   a. Explanation of why this should be posted, your name & phone number
   b. Desired announcement including the subject/title and an email address for any responses
   c. Clear description of which group(s) would be interested.

     We support the following options:
      a) All Staff
      b) All Faculty
      c) All Students
      d) Any combination of these

2) To minimize the opportunity for error please use the subject line of the email submitted for posting for the subject you wish to be displayed on the Campus Mail Bag.

example:
To: mbag@csuohio.edu
Subject: Campus Horn: " "Phishing" E-Mails Received on Campus"

3) Forward your email to your Provost, Vice President or above, for approval, and ask them to forward the
    announcement to mbag@csuohio.edu

Turn-around Time:

Your request will be processed upon receipt. Please plan based upon the following timeframes:
- Posting announcements can take up to two working days once received, with approval, by the Call Center.
- Digests are scheduled to be emailed on Monday and Thursday mornings.

Please email your request well in advance of when it needs to be posted. This provides time for answering questions or resolving problems.

Very Important:

Send requests to mbag@csuohio.edu. We have a procedure to ensure that someone will handle your request if it is sent to mbag@csuohio.edu. If you send your email to someone OTHER than mbag@csuohio.edu, we cannot guarantee that the receiver will be in the office and your announcement may not be posted.

If you have questions about this procedure, please contact the Call Center at 687-5050.
