University Posting Guidelines | Spalding University Student Handbook

University Posting Guidelines

The publicizing of events or programs is a necessary part of ensuring the success of functions. The University has designated areas in all buildings for the purpose of providing a place for groups and organizations to post these notices.

  • Postings in the Residence Halls are approved by the Housing Program Assistant.
  • Departmental bulletin boards are the responsibility of those University departments. Permission to post on these boards is granted by those individual departments.  Classroom bulletin boards are to be monitored and maintained by the appropriate faculty, deans, and provosts of those individual classrooms.
  • All posters and signs, outside of the areas above, must be approved by Student Development and Campus Life.  All approved postings will be stamped with an expiration date.  All flyers posted without stamped approval will be removed and discarded. 
  • Publicity materials for RSO events will not be approved until your event is registered and approved on the portal.
  • All postings will expire within one month unless special permission is granted by the Director of Residence Life or Director of Student Leadership.
  • All postings are to be placed on bulletin boards with pushpins.  Postings made with tape or staples will be removed and discarded.
  • No postings can be made on doors, glass, walls or windows without special permission from the Director of Student Leadership.
  • Flyers or notices may not be placed on vehicles parked on campus.
  • All posters must be in good taste. This includes no obscenities, inappropriate wording, no references to drugs and/or alcohol, no inappropriate pictures, etc.
  • Advertising which explicitly or implicitly suggests or indicates alcohol will be available at an event is prohibited.
  • Postings cannot include any form of hate speech.
  • All notices and signs must clearly state the official name of the sponsoring organization.
  • Only one of each poster or flyer per bulletin board is allowed, and postings are not to be hung over other postings.
  • If you wish to advertise an event via email, send an email to jrae@spalding.edu by the Friday before the event and it will be included in the weekly Campus Activities email. Fliers should be submitted in jpeg or png format. Campus Activities emails are sent on Mondays.
  • Chalk writing/drawing is not permitted.
  • Any postings in violation of these rules will be taken down and discarded.  Repeated violations may include disciplinary action.

Items to note about posting:

  • The RSO is responsible for making up to 40 copies of any flyer that it wishes to post. RSOs can use the SDCL printer/copier to make these copies.
  • All copies should be brought to the SDCL office to be approved and stamped.  You should allow at least 2 days for this process.
  • Once the flyers have been approved and stamped, the RSO can hang them on the approved Student Affairs boards around campus.
  • Hang flyers neatly with pins – NO STAPLES.  If there are no available pins on the board, please alert SDCL of the need for additional pins.
  • Please post flyers to ALL of the approved boards – everyone on campus wants to know what’s going on around campus.
