Posters
Poster approval
Posters around campus are a popular way of increasing visibility about your event. As of October 2024, all posters must be approved by sending an editable version of the poster to PosterApproval@spu.edu. The poster will be reviewed and an approval stamp added. Here are the rules for displaying posters on campus.
- Only events sponsored by a recognized SPU class, club, organization, department, or group can be displayed on campus.
- Only events or programs that have received planning approval from the appropriate department or area may be posted on campus.
- If event and advertising are limited to one department or building, only the approval of that department or building liaison is required
- If event or advertising is targeted for all campus or multiple parts of campus, please follow the procedures below.
- All posters should include the following information: date, time, location, sponsoring group, registration information (if needed), deadlines, cost, what is included (food/beverages), and contact information.
- Posters should be removed within 72 hours of your event. Failure to remove posters could result in loss of posting privileges.
- Posters may only be displayed in approved locations around campus. Posters may be hung with blue tape or tack depending on the location.
- Approved posters will be marked in the lower right corner. Please leave space.
- Posters submitted without adequate information will be returned for correction before they can be approved. This may delay your approval timeline.
- To submit your flyer or poster
- Email an editable version of your poster to PosterApproval@spu.edu as an attachment. Inability to edit (add approval stamp) could delay the approval process. If unsure, please attach as a .doc. No PDF should be submitted.
- Posters will be reviewed on Mondays and Thursdays. All posters received by 8 a.m. will be considered. You will hear back by 5 p.m. on the review date. If approved, your poster will be returned to you as a PDF with the approval in the lower right corner. No edits are allowed after approval. All printed and posted copies need to include the approval stamp.
- Plan for about 75–80 posters for distribution around campus.
Sandwich Boards
If you have a reoccurring event, or frequently host events, you may want to consider purchasing sandwich boards to place around campus.
One office that uses these effectively is Undergraduate Admissions. Contact the UGA Visit and Events team at visitus@spu.edu to ask for recommendations on sandwich boards and placement around campus.
