Eligibility
Access to Marq will be granted to Chapman staff/faculty whose roles involve creating or distributing branded materials on behalf of a university unit, program, or initiative. Typical eligible users include:
- Marketing, communications, events, and administrative staff who regularly produce external-facing materials (flyers, brochures, invitations, programs, banners etc.)
- Administrative staff with responsibilities for ordering or creating stationery (business cards, letterhead, envelopes etc.)
- Faculty or program leads responsible for outreach or recruitment efforts
Seat Limitation
Marq access is limited to 100 seats across the university. Because of this, each request will be carefully reviewed, and approval will be granted to those whose roles and responsibilities most directly require use of the platform.
Decision Criteria
Requests will be reviewed based on:
- Role Alignment – The requester’s position and responsibilities require regular creation of branded communications or materials.
- Purpose – The stated use case aligns with Chapman’s brand enablement goals (e.g., marketing, outreach, event promotion, stationery).
- Frequency – Priority will be given to individuals or units who will use the platform consistently rather than for one-off needs.
- Brand Stewardship – The requester agrees to follow Chapman’s brand guidelines and complete training, ensuring materials support a consistent university identity.
Approval Process
- Requests are submitted via the Marq Access Request Form.
- The SMC team reviews submissions regularly.
- Decisions are made in consultation with the requester’s supervisor when necessary.
- Approved users will be notified by email with access details and onboarding information.
Ongoing Review
- Access may be adjusted or revoked if usage does not align with stated purposes or if materials consistently fail to meet brand standards.
- Units with changing staffing or responsibilities may request additional access as needed, pending seat availability.
