UGA Gwinnett Campus Bulletin Board Posting Policy
Materials, such as flyers and small posters, may be posted on Gwinnett Campus bulletin boards for 10 business days. Posting materials on any other surface on campus is prohibited. All materials must be submitted to the Department of Student Affairs for Extended Campuses (DSAEC) for approval. The staff of the DSAEC will post approved materials and remove them. Materials must advertise: (1) an event sponsored by a registered student organization, UGA department; or (2) U.S. government organization or (3) personal advertisements listing items for sale, for rent, rides, tutors and other “wanted” items, which can only be posted by UGA faculty, staff and students.
Commercial advertising on campus is limited to companies that have a contractual relationship with the University of Georgia. All other commercial advertising is prohibited. Commercial enterprises are defined as any business or individual advertisement that is designed to induce others to purchase an item or service. Please see UGA’s Solicitation Policy for more information.
General job recruitment advertising is prohibited.
