POLICY 1A.12 Web Publishing
Purpose
This web publishing policy defines expectations and guidelines
necessary to promote consistency in web page appearance.
A positive, cohesive brand image is essential as Anoka-Ramsey
Community College continues to adjust to growth and prepare
for the future. Therefore, it is important that
this policy and its accompanying procedures be followed
closely to ensure the integrity of the Anoka-Ramsey Community
College brand is preserved and not compromised.
