Advertising Guidelines

Fliers or advertisements sponsored by student organizations may be posted on campus bulletin boards, except for boards that are specifically reserved for a certain purpose (like banner boards). Nothing may be posted on any surface that is not an approved bulletin board, including bus shelters, trash cans, walls, railings, bathroom stalls, benches, light post, staircases, windows, doors, newspaper boxes, trees, etc. Posters may not cover any other advertisement, nor may any current fliers be removed before the advertisement event in order to make room for other advertisements. Fliers advertising past events may be removed to make room for current ads.

Posters must advertise an event sponsored by a registered student organization, UGA Department, or other official Government organization.

Flyers should not exceed 11” x 17”.  Banner Boards may be reserved for larger posters at the Campus Reservations Office in room 202 of the Tate Student Center.

Commercial advertising is not permitted on campus. If your event is co-sponsored by a commercial business, the name/logo of that campus organization must be printed in type significantly larger than the name/logo of the business/organization. The name of the sponsoring organization or department MUST appear on each poster. ” Teaser” advertisement may be used, but the sponsoring organization must be identified on the flyers.

All fund raising requests that involve the selling of food items, t-shirts, etc will be reviewed by Vending Services. If the item(s) being sold violate any of the conditions of the No-Solicitation Policy that organization will be notified and that item(s) will not be allowed to be sold. If you have any questions or concerns please call the Manager – Vending and Solicitation at 706-542-7167.

It is the responsibility of all student organizations and departmental units to comply with all UGA policies regarding fund raisers, special events, promotions, etc. Repeated violations could jeopardize future approval of events on UGA campus.

Additional information on advertisements can be found in the Campus Advertising Guide located at the Student Activities information desk in the Tate Student Center or at www.uga.edu/campuslife/Library/docs/adguide.pdf
