Posters & Table Tents Advertising Policy

Permission

  1. Only University Departments and registered student organizations in good standing are permitted to display posters or fliers in the residence halls.
  2. Posters/fliers for residence halls must be approved by the Office of Residence Life, 222 Saddlemire Student Services at Conklin. Please see the Information Center at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union for table tent and posting policy within the Union.
  3. The Office of Residence Life has the right to refuse any advertising done within University dining facilities and residence halls that does not support the goals and objectives of the department, the Division of Student Affairs or the University community.
  4. Failure to obtain permission or adhere to the guidelines stated in this policy forfeits the organization/department's right to display posters/fliers in the residence halls for the remainder of the year.
  5. Posters/fliers, verbal and audio advertising are not permitted in any University dining center area, including on windows, walls, doors, etc.

Posters/Fliers Requirements

To obtain approval by the Office of Residence Life for distribution and posting at designated locations in the residence halls, posters/fliers must contain the following:

  • description of event/activity/service
  • identification of the sponsoring organization or department
  • whether there is any charge for the event
  • the date/time/location of the event
  • reason for the event/activity/service
  • contact person's name, phone number or e-mail address

A sample of the proposed poster/flier should be submitted to the Office of Residence life before posters are made in the event that changes must be made.  The poster should be no larger than 81/2"x11".

The Office of Residence Life staff will ask the representative of the organization/department to stamp the posters/fliers at the front desk. One poster/flier will be kept by the Office of the Residence Life for their records.

Posters/fliers approved by the Office of Residence Life must then be submitted to the main desk of the residence halls. Posters/fliers will be taken down after the event.

Quantities of Posters/Fliers

It is the organization/department's responsibility to count and separate the appropriate number of posters/fliers for each residence hall and/or RA. The posters/fliers should be grouped and labeled with the residence hall name.
