CAMPUS POSTING POLICY
Statement on Posting
The Institute maintains several spaces on campus where its
members can share information about upcoming events and
activities which may be of interest to others. The focus of
the poster is to inform the SUNYIT community about an
event taking place, the time, and location. We have developed
these standards so that all members will have an equal
opportunity to utilize these spaces without offending other
members of the community.
1. There are two types of posting boards on the SUNY
Institute of Technology campus:
a. Events Boards: for registered campus organizations
and departments for notices to the college community;
b. Vendor Boards: for all other organizations or
businesses and for the sale of items.
2. Posting on these boards will be limited to posters sized
11” x 17” or smaller. Anything larger must be first approved
in writing by the office of Student Activities.
Contact the Student Activities office for more information
about creating and posting banners and other large
posters.

promote the activity in good taste.

environment, alcohol will not be mentioned on posters.
