Stationery

Official Kennesaw State University stationery is purchased through a state contract, managed by the Office of Procurement and Contracting. The contract has been negotiated to provide lower costs and standardize information that’s aligned with the university’s visual identity. The printing of stationery through other sources, whether internal or external to the university, is prohibited as it violates the parameters of the state-awarded contract.

All colleges, departments, programs and administrative units are required to use the official business stationery package as illustrated on the following pages. Orders for stationery must be submitted through the approved vendor’s website. Use of the university’s indicia for business reply envelopes and other business uses must be reviewed and approved by the university’s postal services distribution center.

The official university’s stationery features the master logo on the top.

The official university business package includes:

Please note that per the University stationery standards, when referring to titles, buildings, departments or programs, symbols (i.e. /, &, @, *, #), acronyms and/or initials are not allowed. Job titles must be consistent with the employee’s title as they are listed with Human Resources. Phone numbers must appear as they are listed in the KSU Campus directory.

Printing an item that is not a part of the contract is considered a custom order. All custom orders must be submitted for approval to Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing at stationery@kennesaw.edu prior to printing.

Guidelines for adding a QR code:

QR code information is restricted to official kennesaw.edu web addresses only. QR codes with graphics, contact information, and non-university URLs are not permitted.
Enter a kennesaw.edu web address (URL) for the website you wish to use in the Department Website field.
Use short URLs when possible. Some longer URLs may generate a QR code that does not fit in the allotted space. To allow for more space, we suggest dropping prefixes such as (http:// and www.) to shorten the URL.
If your QR code doesn't display properly, try using the size adjustment option provided in the portal.
TEST your QR code using the onscreen proof with your smart device to make sure it opens the website you want before you add the card to your shopping cart.

Hold a leadership position/role within a registered student organization (RSO).

This includes graduate research assistants, master’s, and Ph.D. candidates. The card must feature “Student” under the individual’s name. Please note students wishing to produce cards for personal purposes are unauthorized to use institutional marks when doing so. All requests for student business cards must be submitted for approval to the Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing at stationery@kennesaw.edu. Approval must be obtained prior to production.
