Student Organizations

UT Sponsored Student Organizations 

Student organizations that are sponsored through Dean of Students process and approval by an academic or administrative unit on campus are considered an official extension of the university and may use protected university logos and marks in accordance with the guidelines for each mark. Sponsored student organizations should coordinate with the sponsoring administrative or academic unit through the Internal Request Portal to receive approval from the Office of Brand, Trademarks and Licensing.

UT Registered Student Organizations 

Student organizations that are registered with the Office of the Dean of Students (but not sponsored by an academic or administrative unit) may be permitted special use of university marks on products/merchandise or materials for specific events such as national or college-to-college competitions or when students are acting as official university representatives at university events. Registered student organizations must work with the Office of the Dean of Students through the Internal Request Portal to receive approval from the Office of Brand, Trademarks and Licensing to use the protected university logos and marks. Be sure to choose the DOS/Student Activities name on the profile page and the drop down option on the request form to ensure proper routing. Add the official Group/Organization name in the “organization/club” field on the request page.

Other UT System Institution Student Organizations

As a general rule of thumb, Registered Student Organizations may use the name of the university in plain text to identify a location on student org-themed product. Sponsored Student Organizations are considered an official extension of the University with administrative or academic unit support and may use university marks in accordance with the guidelines for each mark. All student organizations must use a licensed vendor from the approved vendor lists when using the name or marks of a university on product. For more specific information, please contact the Assistant Director for Brand, Trademark and Licensing.
