Sign Policy
Tougaloo College students, student organizations, faculty, and staff commonly post signs on the
College’s bulletin boards as a means of displaying information about events. The College has
allowed this practice within regulations designed to reasonably govern the time, place and
manner for the protection of the students, College property, and beauty of the campus.
All signs, flyers, and banners must be approved through the Office of Student Activities or the
Office of Student Affairs before posting. If signs are put up without approval, the sign will be
taken down. Individuals or groups who hang signs without the approval may be sanctioned by
the Office of Student Activities. Banners can be hung at least 3 days prior to an event, but must
be taken down within 24 hours after the event unless prior approval is given. An expiration date
should be placed on all flyers.
Signs/flyers shall not be placed on glass, trees, painted surfaces, security station, and front
entrance of street signs. Any signs placed in these areas will be in violation of the sign policy
and will be taken down.
