Permitted Posting Areas

Posters or notices of any kind may be affixed only to bulletin boards in dormitory entryways, dining areas, academic and administration buildings, and outdoor kiosks, lampposts, and bulletin boards. 

Prohibited Posting Areas

When posting posters or notices of any kind, please respect University property. Posters or notices of any kind are not permitted on buildings, chain link fences, wood paneling, benches, sidewalks, roadways, the natural landscape (e.g., trees, shrubs, grass) and any location not in the list of approved locations in the preceding sentence. In addition, notices and leaflets may not be slipped under office doors.

Contact Information

While not required, individuals, groups, and student organizations are strongly encouraged to include contact information on all posters. The contact information should include the sponsoring student or group’s name, phone number and/or an email address. The purpose is to direct individuals with questions, comments, or seeking additional information to the most appropriate and informed source. If a complaint is filed regarding a poster that does not include the name and contact information for the sponsoring organization, the University will remove it.

Posting Timeline and Removal of Posters

Generally, posters are left in place until after the posted event date or as weather conditions allow. For posters without an event date, we recommend including a posting date to allow a life cycle of approximately two weeks. Other than the person who posted the poster, only authorized staff may remove posters for events that have not yet occurred. Individuals are encouraged to remove material from kiosks and bulletin boards for events that have already occurred and may not poster over existing notices. No one may deface, obscure, or destroy existing posters.
