BPCC Cavalier Communications Center (C3) is here to help you get the word out about your group, event, award or anything BPCC related. The Office of Student Life will manage the messaging system and will approve all announcements that will be broadcast over the system.
BPCC will use C3 to increase the effectiveness of communications to students, faculty, and staff. The system allows the person posting the message to focus the direction to individual buildings or to reach multiple locations across campus.
The guidelines set in this policy will help ensure that communication to BPCC students, faculty, and staff is professional, clear, and relevant. This policy will be administered and enforced by the Office of Student Life and others designated by the Office of Student Life.
- All postings on C3 must be supportive of the College's core mission and values and compliant with all College policies and applicable state and federal laws. The Chancellor reserves the authority to remove any postings deemed inappropriate or inconsistent with the College interests. Posting on C3 is a privilege granted by the College and no implicit or explicit rights of any person, group, or department to post information to the system exists.
- All postings on C3 should generate information for the BPCC Community as a whole. Information of value to only a small portion of the BPCC Community should be carefully evaluated to determine appropriateness prior to submission. The staff reserves the right to determine appropriateness, when necessary.
- Postings that promote activities and events not directly associated with a BPCC program, department, event, or affiliated group should be avoided. Student organizations, BPCC Athletics, BPCC Foundation, Inc., and other related groups may request information be posted to C3. Information regarding events of interest to the general Bossier City/ Shreveport community should be communicated through other appropriate means (i.e. newspapers, television, and radio).
- This project was funded with Student Technology Fee money. Therefore, it is very important that students see the primary use of C3 as a benefit to them.
Submission Guidelines
- All postings should be submitted via hard copy or email to Chris Bagwell (cbagwell@bpcc.edu) at least one week prior to your event. Emergency announcements--evacuations, inclement weather, class cancellations, etc.--can be added as a "same day request." All posting submissions will be reviewed and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Student Services and the Office of Student Life staff.
- Limitations on the amount of available text space within screen do exist. Be prepared to make all announcements as brief as possible. Messages will be read by people moving past the screen. Therefore, brevity and clarity are critical.
- Use of visual media within messages is encouraged. If you are having trouble forwarding media, contact the Office of Student Life staff.
- Perform multiple checks for accuracy, grammatical correctness, and appropriate appearance. The staff reserves the right to edit any messages received.
- Please specify if you would like your message broadcast campus wide or to specific buildings.
