Residential Area Posting Guidelines

Guidelines

Summit Village and the Village at Alpine Valley are areas that differ from the rest of the university in that they are home for the resident students. 

All bulletin boards, public spaces, and mailboxes within any student residential facility are subject to these posting guidelines are described below. 

Any restrictions placed on posting in residential areas are done so in order to maintain a safe and clean atmosphere. 

Guidelines

Residence Life and Housing staff members must approve and post all flyers and posters within the on-campus residence halls and apartments. 

For club, organization, or department flyers, they should clearly identify: 

  1. Group name 
  2. Contact person
  3. UCCS email contact (non-UCCS email addresses will not be accepted)

Posting Do's:

  • provide 55 flyers
  • 8.5x11 in size or smaller preferred - no flyers larger than 11x17
  • drop flyers off at the La Plata and/or Monarch front desks
  • post to cork boards in Monarch, La Plata, and Cucharas lobbies as those areas are accessible 8am-5pm weekdays 

Residents are able to post on their own suite doors without prior approval. 

Posting Don'ts: 

  • no posting on windows, including those in doors
  • no advertisements for businesses or services including but not limited to pet sitting, personal grooming, or tutoring 
  • no materials may be posted that advertise the use or sale of alcohol, marijuana, or any illegal substances
  • no materials can be posted that are deemed by Residence Life and Housing staff as offensive to the village community
  • no going into the residence halls or apartments to post flyers yourself 

Materials advertising housing rentals can be taken to the University Center as long as they meet UC posting guidelines. 

 

Due to the infrequency that residents check their mailboxes, we no longer stuff mailboxes with flyers due to the waste it creates. 

Under no circumstances will any groups be allowed to go door to door on campus for any advertising or soliciting purpose, outside of staff members from the Office of Residence Life and Housing. This includes placing flyers on or under doors, writing on white boards, or knocking on doors.

We also do not allow door hanger advertisements unless approved by Residence Life and Housing staff. 

All banners hung on any bridge in the Summit Village Residence Halls must be approved and hung by housing staff. 

All outdoor flyers, yard signs and sidewalk chalk must be from groups described in the residential Areas policy. The group must remove their items within 24 hours after the conclusion of the event. Failure to do so may result in a fee being assessed to the group for the removal of these items. Under no circumstances may flyers be taped to windows or entry doors in residential areas. 

When posting materials: do not use clear packing tape or duct tape as they can cause damage. Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in the group or organization being charged for damages. 

All advertising in dining halls and other dining locations should be approved by Dining and Hospitality staff. 

Please reach out to the Residential Dining Manager for approval. 

Residence Life and Housing does not endorse specific candidates.

Candidates can provide flyers to be posted by Residence Life and Housing staff. No other forms of advertisement by candidates are permitted. 

Since these postings aren't able to use the UCCS logo, they must include the candidate's UCCS email.
