Market Your Organization

The University recognizes that signs (including posters, banners, handbills, announcements, notices, brochures) serve as a means for communicating information to the campus community in a timely and orderly manner. Signs containing false, misleading or fraudulent information or expression that constitutes criminal or severe harassment, defamation, or obscenity are prohibited.

Bulletin boards are of four types:

• General Bulletin Boards: Students, recognized student organizations, faculty, and staff of the University and non-University individuals may post signs on General Bulletin Boards (indoor or outdoor).
• University Bulletin Boards: University bulletin boards are for posting of official University documents and announcements.
• Department Bulletin Boards: Department bulletin boards are identified, controlled, and maintained by specific University departments, and only materials approved by that Department can be posted.
• Union Bulletin Boards: Union bulletin boards are for posting of official union documents and announcements.
