Publicity Policy

 

In accordance with University policy, all publicity for student organizations must be approved in advance by the Office of Student Activities & Facilities. Therefore, all publicity materials should be reviewed by that office prior to mass reproduction, distribution, or display.

Students organizations may use the art room adjacent to the FUSA offices for large banners or posters, and the Office of Student Activities & Facilities has available a printer that enlarges flyers to poster size.

Locations have different publicity regulations:

Residence Halls and Apartment Complex:
All flyers in residence halls should be hung on designated bulletin boards. Two flyers may also be given to the each RA for distribution, and can be dropped off in the Office of Residence Life. At no time should flyers be placed on the doors to student rooms, fire doors, or glass areas in the residence halls. The Office of Residence Life must first approve student organizations that would like to hang large posters in the residence halls.

Townhouses:
All townhouses are equipped with mailboxes, which may be used when publicizing your events. At no time should flyers be placed on the townhouse doors.

Academic and Administrative Buildings:
Flyers in all academic buildings should only be hung on designated bulletin boards. At no time should flyers be hung in any area which obstructs the view or could be a risk in the case of an emergency. These include glass areas, fire doors, and stairwells. Additionally, posting inside of classrooms is prohibited. Large posters may be hung with the approval of the Office of Student Activities & Facilities.

Barone Campus Center:
Flyers in the campus center may be hung on designated bulletin boards. Large posters may be hung in the main dining hall and the first floor lounge. These spaces must be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis through the Office of Student Activities & Facilities. Table tents, postcards, or placards may be placed on individual tables in the dining hall, the Stag, Jazzman's Café, or the Levee with the approval of the Office of Student Activities & Facilities. No posters or flyers are to be hung on any painted surface, doors or windows. Posting is also prohibited on cement pillars in the Lower Lounge of the Barone Campus Center. Organization seeking an exception to any of these policies must receive approval from the Office of Student Activities & Facilities.

Mailboxes:
Student organizations may stuff the mailboxes of only those members in their organization. To enter the mailroom, the student organization must first obtain a permission slip from the Office of Student Activities & Facilities. The student organization is responsible for the actual stuffing of the mailboxes when in the mailroom. This option is only available between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Off-Campus:
Student organizations or arranged performers, artists, or speakers may not advertise or promote events off-campus without written consent from the Office of Student Activities & Facilities.
