Bulletin boards and tack strips are provided throughout the campus as a means of communicating important messages in-house. All bulletin boards in hallways and lobbies must be labeled as to their use. Certain specialty bulletin boards/tack strips are reserved for use by specific organizations or departments and are so labeled. See General Information Posting Locations for a list of bulletin board locations on campus.

The bulletin boards labeled “General Information” may be used for student, employee, and community postings of a general nature. Examples of General Information postings include announcements of upcoming events and activities on campus or in the community. The tack strips and General Information bulletin boards are NOT to be used to advertise or promote items or services for sale.

Flyers that advertise or promote items or services for sale may be posted ONLY on the Classified Advertising bulletin boards located across from the Assessment Center (Student Center, Room 133) and near the front entrance of the Café. Items for these specialty boards must be approved by the Student Activities Coordinator (College Center, Room 102) or Marketing & Communications (Administration Building, Room 1121). Both of these bulletin boards are maintained by the Student Activities Office.

Political postings are allowed ONLY on the Classified Advertising/Political Postings bulletin boards located across from the Assessment Center (Student Center, Room 133) and near the front entrance of the Café. Approval must first be obtained from Marketing & Communications (Administration Building, Room 1121).

Only one posting per bulletin board (or tack strip) of any one flyer is allowed. No postings may cover up previously posted materials. Bulletin boards and tack strips are monitored each week by the Student Activities Office. Posted materials that are not approved, as well as any materials placed on the wrong bulletin board or tack strip, will be removed.

There will be no promotion of alcohol or controlled substances, and no postings shall include demeaning, sexual, or discriminatory portrayal of individuals or groups.
