Accessibility Support
Enable every department to move quickly, without breaking the brand
On most campuses, email belongs to everyone and no one. Fun! With RGE Studio, each department has its own workspace, users, assets, and campaigns, all within shared brand styles you define. Teams can move fast and still stay consistent.
Workspaces
Each team manages its own users, assets, and campaigns in a dedicated space.
Roles & permissions
Decide exactly who can edit, review, and publish in every workspace.
Shared assets
Push approved logos, colors, fonts, and components out to every team at once.
Template management
Save, organize, and reuse templates so nobody rebuilds the same email twice.
Accessible from the start
Accessible email isn't a final-step checklist; it's how the email is built from the start. RGE Studio bakes accessibility into the design process, so your team ships emails that more people can actually read, on any device and in any inbox.
Readable by default
Mobile-ready, dark-mode-friendly layouts that hold up across devices and clients.
Contrast that works
Color and contrast support that helps text stay legible for every reader.
Structure that makes sense
Alt text and semantic structure so screen readers (and inboxes) interpret your email correctly.
Keep reviews and approvals moving
Higher Ed sign-off is a team sport: enrollment, legal, department leads, accessibility reviewers, and the occasional dean with thoughts.
With RGE Studio, you keep the approval workflow in one place. Set who can edit, review and approve. Leave comments on the design. Export a PDF for the loyalists. All while your brand stays intact.
90% of users report quicker approvals.
Clear roles
Set edit, review, and approve permissions.
Reviews & comments
Invite reviewers and collect feedback.
Multi-step approval
Set up multiple review steps, each with its own reviewer.

Create, save, reuse, repeat
Recurring Higher Ed email campaigns eat the week alive: admissions updates, orientation reminders, event invites, newsletters, fundraising appeals, and alumni notes. That rhythm is the engine of Higher Education email marketing, and it is where teams spend the most time.
RGE Studio turns repeat work into reusable blocks, mobile-ready layouts, and no-code production. Build it once. Reuse it everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can RGE Studio help with email marketing for Higher Education?
RGE Studio helps campus teams create accessible, mobile-ready emails faster with templates, reusable blocks, collaboration tools, and brand styles. Teams can start from Higher Education templates or the Really Good Emails gallery, then build without code. The result: less production chaos and more consistent Higher Education email marketing across departments.
Can RGE Studio support multiple departments or campuses?
Yes. RGE Studio is built for decentralized teams, with separate workspaces for departments, campuses, or programs. Fewer bottlenecks. Fewer rogue newsletters.
Does RGE Studio help teams stay on-brand?
Yes. Teams can use locked brand styles, shared templates, approved components, and permissions to keep emails aligned with institutional standards. Campus communicators get the freedom to build, while the brand does not wander off into the woods.
Can teams create accessible emails with RGE Studio?
Yes. RGE Studio is built with accessibility in mind. You start from mobile-ready, dark-mode-friendly templates, get nudges to add alt text so your images make sense to everyone, and send emails that work with screen readers, all without writing code. It helps your team meet the standards Higher Ed has to hit, including WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, so you can feel confident that every student can read what you send.
How does RGE Studio support approval workflows?
You decide who can edit, review and approve. Reviewers can leave comments directly on the design, even without an RGE Studio account. Teams can also export PDFs for stakeholders who prefer them.
Does RGE Studio work with tools used by universities?
Yes. RGE Studio works with common campus workflows through native integrations, HTML export, and copy-paste routes. Teams can use it with platforms like Slate, Salesforce, HubSpot, Canva, Gmail, and more without replacing their existing tools.
What can I show my Procurement or IT teams about RGE Studio email accessibility?
RGE Studio guides you toward WCAG-friendly choices by default (semantic HTML, alt text descriptions, contrast-safe settings, readable text sizes), so you don't need to know the spec. Before you export, Smart Check flags common accessibility issues automatically.
When procurement asks for documentation, you're covered: a published VPAT/Accessibility Conformance Report is available through our Trust Center, addressing both the accessibility of the emails you create and the builder itself.
