Campus Authorization Form

MSU colleges, departments, and student organizations producing branded products for internal use must follow the internal consumption process. Learn more about the requirements and guidelines below.

 Internal Authorization Process 

1. Select an internal campus licensee that will be producing your merchandise with MSU's trademarked logo and/or verbiage.
2. Choose the design you plan to use and create an electronic copy of the artwork.
3. Complete and submit the Campus Authorization Form with your artwork for University Trademark and Licensing's (UTL) review and approval. Don't worry about getting all the TMs and ®s in the correct spot — UTL will take care of that with your vendor.
4. Once approved, present a completed Campus Authorization Form to your vendor with your order.
5. Vendors will then submit your artwork to UTL for review and final approval before production.
6. Follow up with UTL on the status of your Licensing Authorization Form or artwork approval; follow up with your supplier for the status of your order.
7. When purchasing with a purchase order or P-card, a copy of the completed Campus Authorization Form with approval from UTL must be attached to your payment request.
