Older accounts with an established social media presence that use just \u201cRamapo\u201d in the username should specify \u201cRamapo College\u201d and\/or \u201cRCNJ\u201d elsewhere in the profile.Should the username\/handle have multiple words, review it to make sure there are no unintentional misconceptions or double meanings<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Profile Name<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Must include either the full college name prior to department or club\u2019s name, also known as long-form, or the abbreviated college name prior to the department or club name, also known as short-form.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use a | (pipe) to separate the college name from department\/club\u2019s name.
