Poster Regulations

Although the word "poster" is used, the following regulations apply to posters, flyers, leaflets and similar promotional materials.

1. All posters must be 17 x 23 inches or smaller. Approval for larger posters may be requested from the Director of Student Activities.
2. Posters are not permitted on doors, walls and on glass.
3. Posters are prohibited on the outside of buildings and on trees.
4. No more than two posters for the same event are permitted on the same floor of any academic building; only one poster is permitted in each stairwell per floor of an academic building.
5. Posters must be removed by 10:00 a.m. the morning following the advertised event; in case of a weekend function, 10:00 a.m. Monday is the deadline.
6. Posters must be sponsored by a recognized UWA student organization or University department, except for student elections (see #9 below).
7. Since the University discourages the consumption of alcohol by minors, UWA does not permit posters that promote events taking place at bars and similar establishments, nor may posters include any reference to alcoholic beverages.
8. Failure to comply with the above rules may result in suspension of poster privileges for the offending organization. Unauthorized posters may be thrown away by University personnel.
9. Student Elections: Special poster regulations governing student election campaigns may be adopted by the Student Government Association.
10. All posters and flyers for posting in the residence halls must be submitted to the Housing Office (Brock 121) for approval.  If approved, members of the Housing staff will put up the materials.
