GCC Brand Identity Guide

Website

The Glendale Community College website pages will have a consistent design to promote ease of navigation and a user-friendly environment. All Website pages will also comply with fair use statutes. The college will work cooperatively with faculty, staff, and students to make certain that all pages follow best practices for webpage accessibility and design.

Web Accessibility

GCC is committed to web accessibility for persons with disabilities, as evidenced by Board Policy 5140 Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities. All GCC web pages will adhere to the standards mandated by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and will follow the guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium.

When an accessibility issue is reported, corrective actions will be taken in a timely manner.

Social Media

As an institution of higher learning, Glendale Community College participates in the free and open exchange of ideas. 

Glendale Community College supports the various platforms of social networking – Facebook, X (formerly twitter), YouTube, etc. – as valuable tools for engaging students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends and supporters in a constructive two-way dialogue about the District and its mission. 

The long-term success of any social media community depends on a shared philosophy of how to behave. Members of the Glendale College community should become familiar with Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, the X (formerly twitter) Help Center’s policies, YouTube’s Policy and Safety Hub policies and similar support sites for social media. 

The guidelines for engaging in GCC social media platforms are as follows:

  • Be respectful of the rights and opinions of others.
  • Stay on topic. GCC social media sites are established as forums for the open discussion of matters related to Glendale Community College.
  • Hateful speech, personal attacks, “flaming,” profanity, vulgarity, pornography, nudity and abusive language are prohibited.
  • Keep personal information (e.g. your phone number and address) out of your posts.
  • Think before you write/post: Almost everything you write or post to a social media site – words, pictures, video – is public. If you post anything on any GCC site, you consent that it can be published and waive any expectation of privacy regarding the post. What you choose to add to the conversation today will live on long after the conversation has ended.

GCC encourages the college community to post comments and “like” articles, photos and videos. 

The college is not responsible for unanswered posts or inaccurate information posted by others.

On GCC’s Facebook, X (formerly twitter), Instagram and other social media platforms, a respectful online environment for the broader community is encouraged. GCC page administrators review posts and comments regularly to ensure any issues or concerns are addressed in a timely manner. 

The college reserves the right to remove from GCC social media sites any of the following: 

  • Comments, links, images or videos that are illegal or encourage illegal activity, or are obscene, defamatory/libelous/slanderous, sexually harassing or explicit in nature, or pose risks to the health or safety of individuals;
  • Comments that personally attack or threaten any person;
  • For students, anything that would violate District policies regarding student conduct 
  • Student Conduct Policy
  • Off-topic posts by one or more individuals or groups; 
  • Repetitive posts copied and pasted or duplicated by one or more individuals or groups;
  • Solicitations or advertisements; and
  • Any materials that infringe upon the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

The Glendale College logo is only to be used as a profile photo on official GCC social media sites.
College departmental sites do not represent GCC as a whole, but do reflect on the college.

Departmental sites must be professional and must adhere to state and federal laws and regulations related to the security and privacy of information (e.g. FERPA and HIPAA), as well as to college privacy policies. Confidential information must not be posted.

The use of the GCC logo or brand elements to promote products, causes, or political candidates on personal sites is prohibited.

To use the logo or brand elements on a personal social media site, please submit a request to the Office of Communications & Community Relations.
