Publicizing your group or event with signs

Signs that hang over Thomas Commons announcing events and groups

Where do those signs around the OC come from?

Student organizations and campus offices are invited to post information about their organization or event in the hub of campus by creating a sign for the OC. Important things to know:

  • Your sign (collective term for posters and flyers) must be approved by the Thomas Commons Coordinator or the Coordinator of Student Activities at the beginning of every academic year.
  • Sponsorship information must be explicit and clearly legible from a distance.
  • No sign will advertise or imply alcohol, be profane, or imply profanity; the Information Desk reserves the right to remove signs posted in violation of this (or any) guideline.
  • Posters for the Orange Carpet need to follow guidelines for size stated in the OC sign policy.
  • Information must be kept up to date—if the information is more than a week old the sign will be removed; after 3 instances, the sign will not be allowed back up.
  • Posters requested to hang for the whole academic year may not be hung on the OC wall facing the stairs.
  • All signs must be removed at the end of the year and stored by the organization. Any signs left at the end of the year will be removed and we will not be able to guarantee its condition or that it will not be lost.
  • We reserve the right to remove any signs that are deemed in poor condition.
  • There will be times during the school year when we reserve the right to temporarily remove your sign.
