2021-2022 Student Handbook

Postings and Notices

The purpose of this policy is to manage the physical posting of materials on campus in a way that ensures the appropriate use of available space, prevents the defacing of college property, and reduces unnecessary expenditures of college resources used to repair and/or replace college property.

Bulletin boards are one of the major means of communication on campus. All student organizations and department postings on the Carroll College campus must be approved and stamped in the Office of Student Life in Borromeo Hall room 131 prior to placement. Off-campus or commercial advertisers may also submit materials for consideration. Such materials must also be approved and stamped in the Office of Student Life prior to placement. Postings must contain all information that is relevant to the event and must contact the names of the sponsoring organization. Postings must be consistent with the mission and values of Carroll College. The Athletics office must approve all PE Center notices prior to placement. Notices will be posted on bulletin boards located near each entrance for a maximum of 30 days. Notices may not exceed a size of 8 ½” x 11”. There are no public bulletin boards in the residence halls.

Any other messaging efforts (outdoor banners, sidewalk chalk, lawn signs, etc.) need prior approval from Student Life. Requests to reserve an information table in the upper level of the Campus Center must be submitted in advance to Campus Events and Conference Services.

The content of all postings and messaging must not portray individuals or groups in a demeaning or discriminatory manner, be libelous, violate copyright law, contain any material that is inconsistent with the community values and policies of Carroll College, or violate any other Carroll College policy. We reserve the right to decide whether to approve materials for posting. Unauthorized postings will be removed and destroyed.
