Poster, Paint, and Sign Policy

The following policies have been accepted by the Bryant University Student Senate and the Center for Student Involvement. All clubs, organizations, and departments are advised to follow these policies: Only currently recognized Bryant University student organizations or departments may post posters and signs in the Unistructure and Residence Halls (see Bryant Center policy for specific rules relating to the Bryant Center). Posters and signs in the Unistructure may be displayed in enclosed bulletin boards (not departmental). To hang posters or reserve bulletin board space in the Residence Halls, permission must be granted by the specific Residence or Area Director. Limited space is available to post items in the residence halls. Posters and signs must bear the name of the sponsoring organization or department. In addition, alcohol cannot be advertised as the major focus of the sign or event. Any signs placed on classroom bulletin boards may not overhang the board, and only one sign per classroom bulletin board is permitted.  The maximum number posted for any event is two per bulletin board. Poster/paint markers and banner paper are available in the Student Organization Resource Room (third floor of the Bryant Center) for use by all recognized student organizations and clubs. Sidewalk chalk is permissible only on sidewalks, with the exception of brick walkways. Off-campus groups must receive permission from the Director of the Center for Student Involvement to advertise their event(s) on campus. This permission will be given if the event(s) is/are in support of the aims of the University. Failure to abide by the guidelines in this policy will necessitate immediate removal of unauthorized posters and signs. Violations by student clubs and organizations may result in the loss of posting privileges. Anyone found guilty of removing posters, unless authorized by the Center for Student Involvement or the sponsoring organization, is subject to campus disciplinary sanctions.
