Posting in the Residence Halls
In order to provide an organized and aesthetically pleasing environment for notifying students of campus and community events and services, as well as to work toward keeping public areas of residence halls neat and orderly, the following guidelines have been drafted for the posting and/or distribution of advertising materials in residence halls. All groups and individuals wishing to publicize events, services or sales in residence halls must follow these established guidelines. Inquiries into this policy may be directed to the Director of Residence Life.
1. All signs and posters which you would like posted in residence halls must be left at the front desk for approval. Staff will post all approved materials in appropriate places.
2. Groups and individuals may not post anything on public walls, doors, bulletin boards, glass partitions, wood paneling or other areas of residence halls. Only designated hall staff may post materials.
3. No posters may be larger than 11" x 17" without the express permission of the Area Coordinator.
4. We strongly encourage those wishing to have posters placed in residence halls to save resources by putting multiple announcements on one poster, such as schedules of upcoming events, programs and performances. Staff reserves the right to limit the number of posters for a given establishment or organization to be posted in the residence halls.
5. Those with special requests to do creative advertising or poster campaigns which are not addressed by this policy must see the Area Coordinator for guidance and permission prior to posting materials. Area Coordinators have the final say in granting special requests for advertising in residence halls.
6. Staff will put up a limited number of posters for each event in each hall. The maximum number of posters allowed for each hall is 10.
7. Establishments selling alcohol may provide posters which advertise entertainment events, food specials, cover prices, ID requirements, etc., but may not advertise alcohol or drink prices.
8. Any posters for Honor Houses must come to the Residence Life Office. We will distribute no more than 2 posters for each house.
9. Posters not meeting the guidelines listed above will be removed immediately by residence hall staff.
