ADVANCEMENT SYSTEM EMAILS
If you would like to send an alumni/donor email through the Division of Advancement’s system, please follow the following guidelines:
Get Started
- If you need a graphic created, submit a ticket request to Creative Services. Note that the design and creative approval process generally takes 2-3 weeks.
- Submit your email list request to FAU’s Advancement Services. Note that the turnaround time is approximately 1-2 weeks.
- If FAU’s Creative Services team did not create the email graphic, prior written approval of the graphic is required from FAU’s Art Director Crystal Bacchus.
Email Requests
