Posters and displays are generally intended to advertise a particular event or raise awareness about the activities of an officially recognized campus club or organization.

With this in mind, please pay special attention to the following policies:

• Campus displays must be submitted for approval at least two weeks before the display is to be posted.
• Campus displays and posters are not considered approved until the final notification is received and display items have received a stamp from the Office of Student Life. Clubs and student activity teams must have their posters and displays approved by Kara Holcombe at kholcombe@georgefox.edu.
• You must take down your flyers when your event is over.
• Post only on bulletin boards, posting kiosks or sandwich boards. Do not post on walls, windows or doors. (However, event location signs may be placed on building entrance doors on the day of the event and then removed after the event.)
• Save time by first sending your design to studentlife@georgefox.edu. Then, once approved via email, bring your posters to the Student Life Office in Hadlock to be stamped.

Find all the details you need in the Student Handbook under the Campus Display & Posting Policy section.
