Conduct Labeling Conduct Folders

• The top tabs of the yellow

conduct files need to be labeled

with the student’s last name,

first name, and ID number in

that order.

• You may print or handwrite

conduct folder labels.

• If you would like to print

conduct labels, refer to

directions on labels in your

office.

• If you choose to hand write

conduct labels, please write in

black pen and as neat as

possible.

Digital Screens

• Used for advertising in halls with TV screens on residential floors and lobby areas.

– While these will primarily be updated by OAs in new facilities, it is important to know so that you can make a screen for your building and still be able to send it to a west campus building for advertisement purposes!
