The use of the college’s name or other college marks, logos or seals, in whole or in part, by unauthorized individuals, clubs and organizations is prohibited. Those clubs and organizations recognized by the college and who are in good standing, are extended the privilege of using the college name and its marks and logos in association with their club or organization in ways that are consistent with the college's mission and that promote the college's image and reputation. Such use must not misrepresent the association between the college and the club, organization, or activity and must not suggest that the college endorses the product or activity.  Use of the college name, marks, or logos in connection with vulgar language, profanity, sexually explicit graphics, words with inappropriate double meanings, weapons, illegal drugs, or alcohol is prohibited.  Use of the college name, marks, or logos in a way that promotes dangerous, offensive, or illegal products or activities is prohibited.  The college maintains an unlimited right to disapprove or stop any use of its name, marks, and logos that the college believes, in its sole discretion, violates this policy, creates a risk of liability, or causes or has the potential to cause reputational harm to the college.
