Social Media

Moreno Valley College maintains several social media profiles as well as profiles connected to academic schools and student programs. Requests to advertise events, programs, news, and more to students and the community may be submitted by email to marketing@mvc.edu

Send all social media requests to marketing@mvc.edu. When submitting your request, provide the following:

  • A message to share with students that is 280 characters or less. Write in active voice. Avoid abbreviations and chat speak.
  • A link, if relevant, where students and the community can get more information. MVC will use a link shortener.
  • A graphic that is 1080 by 1080 pixels. Else, request a graphic to be created for your post.
  • A date for your advertisement to be shared, whether it should be a recurring post, and when any advertisement should end. Time of day is not guaranteed and unless time sensitive, posts may be shifted to accommodate time-sensitive announcements.

Requests for new social media pages must be submitted to Web Development. Departments and programs may not create their own social accounts on behalf of the college. Web Development will set up your profile. You may not, under any circumstances, share log in credentials. Social media profiles for programs, departments and schools may only be accessed by active MVC employees. Students may not speak or share information on behalf of the College except on club/student organizational accounts.

If you have an active account that is not managed by Web Development, contact webmaster@mvc.edu to have your account added to our social media management system. All active social media profiles must comply with these requirements, as well as with District and College social media policies. Moreno Valley College will protect its intellectual property by removing any unapproved social media pages carrying the College name or brand. For details, read RCCD Social Media Guidelines.

The division of Planning & Development, with the assistance of MVC Technology Support Services, offers in-house paid social media advertising. Services provided by the College's marketing team include identification of campaign goals, design, and campaign setup and management. Advertising may take place on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Funding must come from your departmental budget and can be allocated for a campaign by completing a budget transfer to an open PO managed by Planning & Development. For more information, contact marketing@mvc.edu.

Classes, programs, events, workshops, clubs and activities may be advertised on social media. If providing graphics, ensure they are 1080 by 1080 pixels. Send requests to marketing@mvc.edu.
