Residence Hall Postering
Poster Placement in Residence Halls
Postering Policy
Posters must be approved by Housing & Residential Life (HRL) staff and stamped (by individual bringing poster) before they will be posted in Residence Halls and Community Centers. Failure to obtain proper approval before posting will result in the removal of posters and possibly: charges for cost of removal, referral/letter from the Dean of Students office, or trespassing violations, as appropriate.
Please come to 1501 Dickson Hall (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:00pm) to get posters approved by an HRL staff member. You will be responsible for doing the stamping of all posters with the approval stamp provided.
