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

  • Email requests must be submitted at least 10 business days before your requested send date.
  • The Advancement email calendar is filled on a first come, first served basis.
  • Submitting an email request does not guarantee that your requested send date is available.
  • If your requested send date is unavailable, you will be notified and provided with an alternative date.
  • Final text and/or graphics must be submitted with the email request.
  • The Division of Public Affairs does not provide proofreading/editing services. You are responsible for checking all of the text (spelling, phone numbers, websites, etc.) and ensuring that it follows FAU Editorial Standards.
  • Approved graphics should be sent as a JPEG file under 300 KB (PDF files are not acceptable)

Final Approval and Distribution

  • The designated contact person will receive a maximum of two test messages.
  • Your written approval of the test message is required before an email can be sent out.
  • Your email must be approved and scheduled in the system a minimum of 48 hours prior to your send date.
