Posters and Promotions

Registered student organizations and campus departments can hang posters in the residence halls by bringing 2 copies of the poster to the Amsterdam Hall front desk to receive approval.  Please note that approval may take up to 24-48 hours, so we encourage you to plan accordingly.

Advertisements for non-university sales or job listings will not be approved regardless of student organization sponsorship. 

Posters approved by the Campus Living and Residential Education Team are only allowed to be advertised in the residence halls on campus. Academic buildings require a separate approval.
