Website Updates

Texas Wesleyan Faculty and staff are responsible for maintaining all University websites, including department news and events. In order to create and edit content, you must complete the TerminalFour (T4) website training offered by the Office of Marketing & Communications.

If you have not been able to complete training but need to make changes to your department's site, we'll offer a one-time update, provided you register for training at the time of the request.

Website Approval

The marketing & communications team will review content submitted by all T4 users every work day. All user content submitted before 11 a.m. will be reviewed the same business day. All user content submitted after 11 a.m. will be reviewed the following business day.

Any faculty or staff who wish to have their news stories or events in the Flame must submit their content before 11 a.m. on the business day before the Flame's release.

Student Employees

At the request and sponsorship by faculty and staff, student employees may receive training to update a University website, including department news and events. The student employee will only have access to update areas of the website for their supervisor’s department and division.

The Office of Marketing & Communications cannot give access to student employees without direct supervision and request from faculty or staff to update their website structure. Student employees will have limited capabilities and need to go through beginner website training at the start of each semester they’re employed with the University.

The Texas Wesleyan University name, logos, icons and word marks are property of Texas Wesleyan and may not be used without the University’s permission. It is campus policy that any use of the Texas Wesleyan brand identity that is not produced and/or distributed by the Office of Marketing & Communications must have prior approval.

Purchase Orders (POs) for unapproved usage will not be cleared by the Purchasing Department. To assure that outside vendors receive payment, always include email or written confirmation of approval by the Office of Marketing & Communications when submitting POs. This will help expedite the process and ensure timely vendor payment.

Departments and offices that fail to follow this procedure will be personally responsible for vendor payment.
