Posting and Chalking Policies
Posting:
- The name of the chartered organization, University division, department, or office must appear on the posted material as the designated sponsor.
- There will be a limit on all announcements to one poster/flyer copy per event per bulletin board.
- Student candidates campaigning for an office or position on campus will be limited to one poster per candidate/campaign per bulletin board.
- Electioneering by posting for off-campus positions unrelated to University-sponsored programs or organizations will not be allowed.
- No posting on car windows on campus property.
- Material may be posted only on bulletin boards. Posted material may not be attached to car windows, windows, doors, walls, floors, trees, or any other part of the University grounds.
- It is recommended that posted material not be excessively large in proportion to the board on which it is placed in order to make room for other notices.
- Posted material advertising non University sponsored events must be of general interest to the University community and sponsored by a not for profit organization. Commercial posting is not permitted on campus.
- A commercial organization may have its logo displayed on posted material only if it is working with a chartered group to sponsor a function or a fundraiser which benefits the University organization. Organizations can contact the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) located in the Student Union for more information regarding fundraisers.
- Posters should be attached with tacks whenever possible. Staples and tape are not recommended as they are difficult to remove. Under no circumstances should duct tape or other highly adhesive tape be used.
- It is recommended that chartered organizations, divisions, departments, or offices submit one copy of the posted material to the Center for Student Involvement [CSI) so information may be shared with others who are planning events.
- Materials promoting the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or any other illegal substance may not be posted on campus. Profanity, obscenity, and the promotion of illegal acts are also prohibited.
- Chartered organizations should only remove their own material from bulletin boards.
- It is recommended that an organization which has posted material be responsible for removing said material within 48 hours after the publicized event in order to make room for other promotional materials.
- Chartered organizations should only remove their own material from bulletin boards.
- The University reserves the right to remove any form of posted material, and in particular, any material which does not comply with this policy.
Chalk Writing:
- Writing with chalk on suggested areas is permitted by recognized student organizations, offices and divisions to advertise events of campus-wide interest. Campaigning or personal dialogues/opinions are not permitted. Contact the CSI in advance for guidance on suggested chalking areas.
- The sponsor of an event, date, time, and location of event must be included in all chalking. Each organization/office is responsible for removing the chalk as soon as possible after the event takes place (if the weather does not remove the chalk) as a courtesy to other groups.
- Specific areas are designated as no chalking areas. These
include:
Walls Steps Trash Cans Bricks Buildings All other vertical surfaces not listed - Groups will be charged for clean-up if chalking occurs in prohibited areas, advertises something other than a campus-wide event, or is not removed within a reasonable time frame after the event occurs.
