Based on the results of APASC's SUN System student survey and focus groups, colleges are asked to follow these implementation and marketing tactics recommended by students:

• Integrate the SUN numbering icon in print and online course catalogs / schedules.
• Link to the SUN website on college sites in strategic locations such as student portals/online centers, transfer program pages, and news or blog sections.
• Promote SUN on college social media accounts, and connect college profiles with SUN on Facebook and Twitter.
• E-mail all students with an announcement introducing SUN.

The examples below are designed to help you effectively implement and market the SUN System to students in order to maximize awareness and help students select SUN courses at your institution. Examples are provided for print catalogs and online course listings.
