II. POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of the State University of New York (SUNY) to ensure that recognized student organizations, college programs, departments, and units that want to share information about upcoming events and activities are able to do so through various means of communication, including flyers and posters.

SUNY reserves the right to manage posting and advertising on its campuses in order to maintain an orderly and attractive venue, to make event information accessible to the campus community, and to ensure that events and programs that are advertised comply with institutional policies and procedures.

III. POLICY

This policy sets forth the requirements for all student organizations, College programs, departments, and units recognized by SUNY Canton that wish to post items on campus general-use bulletin boards.  This policy does not apply to bulletin boards that are reserved for specific departments, offices, or organizations whereby posting generally requires permission of that group.

For policy on entities and individuals who wish to use SUNY Canton facilities for other than approved college-sponsored academic, administrative, and extra-curricular activities, please refer to Facilities Use Policy.
