All off-campus individuals or entities desiring to advertise or place exhibits on campus or to recruit students must request written permission from the Office of the Vice President for Student Services.  University student organizations  that advertise their own university-approved activities or those co-sponsored with an off-campus agency, and university units which sponsor or co-sponsor events that are scheduled on the university calendar may advertise according to the terms of this policy without having this written permission. Student organizations may not advertise activities that have not been approved by the Office of Student Services.

Persons responsible for individual buildings  may determine where advertisements may be placed in the building. Advertisements are not to be placed on painted walls. Banners may be hung only in designated areas on campus.
