Bulletin Boards
Campus bulletin boards are under the jurisdiction of various academic departments, the
Marketing Communications Office, and the Coordinator of Student Development.
Students are encouraged to use bulletin boards in the Student Center.
Placement of signs on departmental bulletin boards is prohibited. Also, any notice or
flyer that is placed on walls or glass or doors will be removed immediately. The single
exception to this regulation applies to the posting of Emergency Notifications which are
placed on the doors of buildings to ensure adequate information reaches the members of
the University community relative to safety and security concerns.
Because of limited space, priority for postings will be given to the following groups and
individuals: any recognized campus organization that is promoting an event, fundraiser,
or meeting; special University functions; individuals who wish to advertise books or
other merchandise for sale; individuals looking for rides home or to area colleges;
individuals looking for a roommate or to rent an apartment, etc
Area businesses such as pizza parlors, restaurants, stores, or nightclubs must contact the
Office of Student Development before posting anything on campus or in campus
mailboxes. Failure to do so will result in the immediate removal of any or all posted
materials.
