Registered student organizations are permitted to advertise on campus through use of flyers, posters, chalking, and tree banners. Please review policies specific to each type of advertising below and then click on one of the links at the bottom of the screen to proceed to the Campus Display Request Form.

Flyers/posters -

• Pre-approval for flyers and posters must be obtained from Student Life for hanging in academic buildings and around central campus (north of Lindsey Street). All advertising south of Lindsey Street requires approval from the Director of Residential Life.

• Requests for flyer/poster approval must include a copy of the material to be printed. Do not print any final versions of material until approval has been received.

• All advertising, promotional, or informational material designed for display on any surface is restricted to permanent bulletin boards inside and outside University buildings. Any publicity placed improperly is subject to removal by campus personnel at the registered student organization’s expense.

• In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, printed materials that announce a program or event must include information to offer accommodations. An appropriate phrase is: “Accommodations on the basis of disability are available by contacting (name, address, phone) by (date).”

• Student organizations are responsible for removing all flyers/posters after the date of event.

Chalking -
