Revelle College Posting Guidelines

Only publicity materials for University-affiliated programs, events, and opportunities may be posted. Prior to posting materials, all must be approved and stamped in the Revelle Residence Life Office. Materials must include the time, date, and location of the event, sponsoring group’s name and contact information.

Materials will not be approved to remain posted for longer than seven (7) days. No more than one publicity item per event/group may be posted in any given space (e.g. posting both pre-printed posters and hand-made banners on the posting space on the north side of the Blake Hall elevator shaft will not be permitted). Additional publicity materials will be removed.

Publicity spaces (listed below) are available on a first come, first served basis. If publicity materials are found to be covering other posters or banners, the offending poster/banner will be removed. Removing and/or moving another group’s current publicity material is not permitted.

Postings must be removed within 48 hours following the publicized event, or within seven (7) days of posting. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring group/organization to remove postings.

Posters or banners may not be placed on glass/windows; elevator, office, or lounge doors; pillars or light poles. Failure to adhere to the posting policy may result in any or all of the following actions:

  • Removal and disposal of postings
  • Suspension of posting privileges for a defined period of time

  • Violations by UC San Diego student organizations may be reported to the Center for Student Involvement
