Guidelines & Submissions

Intercom is the official website for UT Dallas faculty and staff members. We welcome submissions of information critical to workplace success, including announcements about employee benefits, organizational changes and policy matters, among other topics. Submissions can be sent to intercom@utdallas.edu.

Content Appropriate for Intercom

Submissions that will be considered for posting on Intercom include:

• University-sponsored events.
• Other events focused on staff and faculty.
• Public programs and seminars.
• Human Resources-related announcements.
• Campus information.
• Training and compliance reminders.
• Personnel announcements for positions of associate dean (academic) or associate vice president (administrative) and above.

Content Not Appropriate for Intercom

Items that typically will NOT be considered for Intercom include:

• Promotions of journals, journal articles and published books.
• Events, fundraisers and notifications that are primarily focused on students.
• Research requests, grant proposals and calls for papers.
• Requests for research subjects.

It is expected that it will take two days for submitted items to be placed on the website. Announcements and news items will be placed on the front page of the Intercom website for approximately one to two weeks after which, depending on the volume of announcements, it will be moved to an archive page.

An email will be sent to employees every other Friday to alert employees of the new stories that have been posted to the Intercom site. Items must be submitted by the previous Tuesday at noon to be considered for inclusion in the bi-weekly email.
