Facilities Usage

In accordance with University policies and procedures regarding scheduling and fees, student groups may use University facilities on a space-available basis. Compliance with institutional policies as set forth in this publication, and the mission and educational goals statement of the University are required for authorized facility use. Students found in buildings after closing hours must have in their possession a note signed by the appropriate departmental chairman or the dean of student life. Safety and security patrols routinely check late occupants of buildings. Students are expected to comply with the security officers’ requests, which may include vacating buildings or producing proper identification.

All signs, posters, and handbills for distribution in and around the SUB and campus kiosks must be approved at the Uni-Com desk and may be posted only in designated areas. A copy of items to be posted must be filed with the Uni-Com desk when approval is requested. Items may not be affixed to walls, light poles, trees, or other non-designated areas such as windows and doors. Individuals and organizations are held responsible for costs incurred in removing improperly posted items and are liable for damages caused by improper posting. Posting on departmental boards or on boards designated for specific offices requires the additional approval of the person responsible for the board. The department director or his or her administrative assistant will determine where you may post approved materials in their area. Posters larger than 24" by 35", banners and other nontraditional items require special approval by the Office of Student Programs. Student election posters must conform with the ASSP Student Elections Task Force policies and procedures. Violations of those posting procedures are reviewed by the Elections Task Force. Approved notices from local churches may be displayed only on the designated board in Gwinn Commons. Materials from commercial organizations normally will not be approved for posting. Materials posted in residence halls require the approval of a residence life coordinator.
