A one-time use request allows an individual, organization, department or external partner to use Bowling Green State University trademarks, logos or athletic marks for a specific, limited purpose. These requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must receive approval prior to production of any content, products or materials.

One-time use approval may be appropriate for limited events, initiatives, special projects, donor-related items or other unique circumstances.
