Saint Rose has a campus-wide poster policy, which must be followed when posting flyers, posters, or announcements. There is ample bulletin board space in all campus buildings, and thus all printed material must be posted on bulletin boards only.

CAMPUS POSTER POLICY
Material authorized for posting will be limited to that which complements the mission of the College, reflects a responsible expression of an opinion or idea, and will not result in a disruption or interference with the orderly operation of the College. In addition, posters whose content is deemed libelous, to have negative stereotypes or graphics or otherwise excessively vulgar may be removed and the organization responsible for the poster may be deemed in violation of the poster policy and subject to penalty. Subject to the foregoing, all decisions by the Office of Student Development to approve or disapprove posted materials shall final.

All posters must adhere to the College’s copyright policy. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Student Development before making and printing posters.

ALL FLYERS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT OFFICE. SIGNS WITHOUT APPROVAL STAMPS WILL BE REMOVED.

GUIDELINES
Posters will be approved that promote College, or Community events and programs.

  • Due to space limitations, only one flyer/poster per general posting bulletin board is allowed.
  • The Student Development staff will only take 3 posters per event.  We take two posters that are 8.5”x11” and one that is 11”x17” or smaller.
  • “Sweeps” are to place on the table at the entrance in the dining hall. The document is in landscape, and the approximate the size is a ¼ sheet of regular 8 1/2”x11” paper.
  • Students who are looking to advertise within the Residence Halls, must bring all posters to the Office of Residence Life for approval. Area Coordinators will then distribute the posters to the appropriate Resident Assistant of that hall to post in the building.
  • The hanging of “sweeps” in a residence hall must be approved by the Area Coordinator of that hall. Sweeps must be taped to individual doors, and NOT left on the floor or placed under doors.
  • With proper and advance notice, special permission will be granted for banners, etc., for special campus events. In order to be granted permission, please contact Student Development at studentdevelopment@strose.edu.
  • In order to approve movie/documentary flyers, Student Development must receive a copy of the rights or permissions. If the movie is being broadcast from Kanopy or another free source, the source needs to be verified.
