Groups wishing to have their own official social media account must first seek approval from Communications and Marketing.

This will enable students to be more informed and involved.
All social media accounts officially recognized by Walters State must have a faculty or staff member as an administrator at all times. Should the designated advisor leave the college for any reason or no longer wishes to be an account administrator, it is that person's responsibility to designate a replacement and inform Communications and Marketing of this change.
