Posting Policy

Posting Policy

  • All Wartburg College students, faculty and staff are able to hang posters, at the discretion of the
    Marketing & Communications Office. If posters are produced by Marketing & Communications,
    approval is implied. Student organizations will continue to bring posters to the Office of Campus
    Programming for approval.
  • Student organization posters must be approved by the Office of Student Life – each poster will be
    submitted with a sheet stating what the event is, who is putting it on and the name, email and cell
    phone of the person requesting permission (see attached). You should allow 2 business days for the
    approval. You will be contacted when the poster is approved by the Director of Campus Programming.
    It is strongly recommended you print one poster for approval and then bring in the rest for stamping.
  • All posters must include the organization sponsoring the activity as well as the date, time, and location
    of the activity.
  • Wartburg College prohibits advertising that promotes the sale or irresponsible use of alcohol
    (such as drink specials) and the sponsorship of alcoholic beverages.
  • A maximum of 50 posters will be stamped for the entire campus.
  • Signs CANNOT be posted on walls, windows or doors.
  • Posting is limited to public bulletin boards, display cases, and other areas specifically designated by the
    Office of Student Life or Marketing and Communications. Please note you are not allowed to post in the
    Student Center bathrooms and need permission for the Residence Hall bathrooms.
  • In the Student Center, Luther Hall, and Whitehouse Business Center there is no posting allowed except
    on public bulletin boards. Posters placed on seats, benches or ledges will be removed.
  • For posting in the residence halls, you must obtain approval from the Office of Student Life, noted by
    the stamp and signature of the Director of Campus Programming or designee.
  • Public bulletin boards are available for posting in academic buildings. Posting on department bulletin
    boards, building doors, and faculty offices is not allowed.
  • Banners – reservations can be made to hang large posters on the stairs to the Mensa. Please make
    reservations with Jean Buckingham at jean.buckingham@wartburg.edu or x8286
  • Organizations or departments that post information on campus bulletin boards are responsible for
    removing postings in a reasonable time (two days) after the event, activity, or program has concluded.
  • Off-campus organizations may be eligible to post with the permission from the Office of Marketing and
    Communications or designee. No advertising for business promotion will be permitted.


Please note that student organizations that have applied for recognition, but have been denied, may
not be eligible for the privileges of the posting policy. This depends upon the circumstances for which
they were not recognized and is decided by the Director of Campus Programming or designee.

The Office of Student Life reserves the right to remove postings at any time or deny the hanging of
posters. Please note this document is subject to change.
