The Thomas Commons Sign Posting Policy

The following is the policy developed at the Information Desk

• ALL SIGNS MUST BE APPROVED AND STAMPED BEFORE POSTING

• Everyone who wishes to create/post a sign must have a sponsor (i.e. an office or organization that is recognized by Student Senate) and make reference to the sponsoring office or organization (i.e. “PAAC PRESENTS . . .” or “Arrow Garage Sale . . .”)   

• Individual students wishing to post a sign in the case of a special circumstance (other than birthdays) are subject to approval/denial by the Facilities Coordinator, and/or Director of Student Life; such signs must include specific and complete contact information when applicable.  The length of posting will be the same as a birthday sign.

• All signs will remain posted for one week or until the event is over, whichever comes first;

• Permanent signs for sanctioned organizations may remain posted during the school year, as long as information is kept up to date and upon approval by the, Facilities Coordinator, and/or Director of Student Life.
