Social Media at Bishop’s

Social media, when used wisely, is a very powerful tool, allowing Bishop’s University and its community members to engage prospective and current students, parents, employees, alumni and other interest constituencies in the life of the University.

Our guidelines apply to the Bishop’s community, including, but not limited to, administrators, faculty, students and staff. It is important for our community to follow the same standards while using social media, as they would in their everyday interactions and communication with our audiences.

Find guidelines for institutional social media accounts on myBU under Communications.

Note: The Communications Office must approve all new social media channels related to the University to make sure they are set up properly. Send an email to socialmedia@ubishops.ca to start the process.

And don’t forget, always tag ubishops!

Essential Policies

How you behave online could affect your studies and/or profession. Take the time to read through Bishop’s existing policies, as well as guidelines and basic principles that govern the usage of social media either on behalf of the University (in the workplace) or for personal use. The policies can be found on the Bishop’s University website.

Be sure to be aware of and understand these policies as well:

Administrators of Bishop’s social media channels, as well as those identified as the social media coordinators of these channels, are responsible for their social media properties.
