I.     Promoting and Advertising “On-Campus Events” Both On-Campus and Online

Students and student organizations are permitted to advertise and promote on-campus events that have been approved through the event registration process through postings in designated locations in on-campus facilities and online through organization websites, online calendars, and social media. Students and student organizations must follow these regulations when promoting and advertising on-campus events. Failure to do so will result in the removal of all promotional materials and subject the student and/or student organization to appropriate disciplinary action.

1. All promotion and advertising materials must include the following information:
   • Name of sponsoring student organization
   • Contact information for sponsoring student organization or individual
   • Date of event/activity
   • Time of event/activity
   • Location of event/activity
