Licensing & "SWAG"

If a student organization wishes to order merchandise that includes the organization’s name or the Harvard name or logo in any way (including "Harvard" as part of the Official Organization Name), the organization must follow the process outlined in the University’s "Guidelines for Ordering Internal Insignia Items ("SWAG") for Harvard Schools, Departments, Units, and Officially Recognized Student Organizations and Affiliates."

When you move to step 4 to get a written approval from a school administrator for your design, contact JR Bagley with your design.

Student organizations may give away or sell items bearing their organization name or the Harvard name or logo only in the following circumstances, with permission from the Harvard Trademark Program through the process outlined at the link above:

• or their own internal use

• to be given away to the members of that student organization

• to be sold on a limited and one-time-only basis to benefit the student organization

Student organizations are permitted to print business cards for officers who represent the group. Student organizations may receive this written permission from the Student Engagement Team.

Please review the Harvard Trademark Program Business Card Authorization Guidelines prior to submitting a request to the Student Engagement Team.

Harvard Mail and Print Services can assist students with business card requests. For more information and order form, visit the print services website. All other print vendors require written permission to print the word "Harvard" on any business card or stationery
