UAF sites excluded from using the standardized banners must meet all the following criteria.

1. All requirements outlined in the UAF web guidelines with the exception of banner use apply. Those requirements dictate that all UAF websites should include the following:
   
   • complete contact information for the unit on the home page of the site or alternatively, a clearly labeled link to a contact information page
   • a link to the webmaster or person responsible for maintaining the site
   • a last modified or last updated date
   • text links to the UAF home page and to the unit's home page
   • appropriate use of the AA/EO and accreditation statements.
2. The official UAF logo must be placed on the front page of the site and be linked to http://www.uaf.edu. It may appear either in black, white, or the sanctioned hexadecimal blue and may not be modified to an alternate color. Logo size is not to be less than 80 pixels wide or 61 pixels high. For more information about appropriate use of the logo, see the UAF logo guidelines.

To request exclusion from using the standardized UAF banners, take the following steps for each site you wish to be excluded.

1. After meeting the above requirements, create a mock-up (proof) and post it somewhere on your site to illustrate how you plan to brand your site without the use of the official banners.
2. Prepare to write a brief but detailed justification for why your unit qualifies for the banner exclusion.
3. Submit your justification and the URL of your mock-up via the banner exclusion form.

Requests will be evaluated within two work weeks of submission and the contact person will be notified of the resulting decision.
