Internet & Online Communications
Pacific University strives to utilize online communications to connect with Pacific's diverse audience base. We also work to continually increase the consistency of our Internet presence. To help achieve this mission, we assist in educating
and supporting faculty, staff and students regarding the Internet and the ways in which it can increase communications and enhance productivity.
The Office of Marketing & Communications maintains the overall style and presentation of the University website, pacificu.edu. All of our content sits on the University server and all of our webpages are created within our branded template and our online standards.
If you are experiencing technical difficulties with the main Pacific website, please email webteam@pacificu.edu for assistance.
Web Standards
If you are responsible for updating webpages on the Pacific University website, you will use the web standards found within our Brand Standards (PDF). Our web standards help us maintain a consistent and professional web presence.
Managing Webpages
Each office, department, major, school, college, program, center or institute with webpages on the main University website is responsible for basic upkeep of content on the pages corresponding to that area.

Email Marketing and Online Forms
Contact us at webteam@pacificu.edu to begin using online forms on our website or to send branded emails.
If you send email to groups of 50 or more individuals with external email addresses you will want to use one of our preferred email marketing systems. By using an email marketing system designed for external branded communications you will have a platform that provides a more professional communication and ensure that we are not black listed as spammers. To set up a subaccount for your email marketing needs, please contact MarCom. Costs associated with using the system are based on usage and are extremely inexpensive as a comparison to more traditional marketing.
