Important information about using these document templates
Documents published on our websites, like all other public sector websites, must meet accessibility standards. This is a legal requirement. Please ensure you've read our guidelines on how to ensure your documents are accessible to ensure that all documents published online adhere to accessibility regulations. Please note, this applies to designed PDFs (such as digital brochures and guides) as well as simple PDFs that use the University's document templates. In mamy cases, it may be better to publish the information you're proposing to create in PDF format on a web page.
Temporary posters displayed inside of our buildings are created for use for a limited time only and include information about:
- directions (to an event, for example)
- maintenance works
- instructions for students, visitors or staff (for example, if exams are taking place and there is a need for silence)
- opening hours
- forthcoming events (open days or one off talks, for example)
If you need to create a temporary sign you can download a template and change the text for your own purpose. The font used for signage is Arial. Any signage aimed at internal audiences only (this does not extend to materials for publicity purposes) should use these templates to create consistency around the University.
Temporary signage must be removed once it is no longer relevant to prevent clutter around the University. When creating your sign please include an expiry date, your name and telephone extension in the fields at the bottom of the sign.
Staff members needing certificates can use this Word document template.
