The posting and display policy at George Fox applies to student-sponsored public displays, posters, and chalking. This updated policy is designed to support your events and initiatives while keeping our campus clean and welcoming.

Here is a basic definition of each:

• Displays generally consist of a number of images or ideas intended to engage the campus community, create awareness, or generate discussion.
• Posters are typically used to advertise a specific event or promote activities for an officially recognized club or organization.
• Chalking is the act of writing or drawing with water-soluble chalk on approved outdoor surfaces.

You can find all the details you need in the Student Handbook’s “Policy for Student Posters, Displays, and Chalking” section.

Key reminders:

• Please read these specific policies carefully to ensure your materials are approved and compliant.
• Approval process: All posters, displays, and chalking content must be approved by the Office of Student Life before being placed.
• Approved locations: Only post on designated bulletin boards, posting kiosks, or sandwich boards.
• Prohibited areas: Do not post on walls, windows or doors. Also, please note that chalking is prohibited on vertical surfaces, under overhangs, or on the Crisman Crossing bridge or the chapel sidewalks.
• Adhesion and removal: Use push pins or removable tape only, and remember to remove your materials once your event is over.
