Apparel and Merchandise Approval Process
Select vendors for imprinted items which have been licensed through CLC, a collegiate licensing agency. Licensing protects the UC Riverside brand and minimizes the risk of using a vendor whose business practices counter the UC Code of Conduct. You can view a list of licensed vendors here (select UC Riverside in the drop-down menu).
Licensing through CLC is separate from vendor approved by Purchasing, which approves vendors for services and nonbranded goods. Vendors can get licensed at the CLC website.
Art Review Process
All apparel and imprinted products featuring UC Riverside name, marks, and logos (including athletics) should be reviewed for brand compliance prior to printing. It is the vendor’s responsibility to submit items for approval via our licensing company, CLC.
Review adds time to the overall approval and manufacturing process. We recommend allowing 5-10 business days in the production schedule for licensing approvals, especially in case design changes are needed.
STEP 1: The licensed vendor submits art through CLC’s web portal for review.
STEP 2: The art is reviewed for proper use of campus logos and trademarks.
STEP 3: If art is disapproved, the vendor contacts the customer to resolve any design issues. Revised art is resubmitted.
STEP 4: Once art is approved, the vendor can produce the product.
