All flyers and posters must be brought to the Office of Residential Life, located in Pinewood Hall to be approved and hung in the residence halls. Those flyers will receive a stamp from the Residential Life office and be hung by the RA Staff. Even if a flyer has been approved and stamped by Student Life, it must still be stamped by the Residential Life office for posting in the residence halls. Please do not post flyers on your own in the residence halls.
Posting of Advertisements
In an effort to disseminate information to resident students in a consistent and easy to find format, the following policy related to posting materials in the residence halls was developed. The Posting Policy is designed to improve the aesthetics of our residence halls and decrease the damage to our facilities from improper posting. Your assistance and that of your department or student club/organization is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to everyone working together to maintain a beautiful campus environment. These procedures also reduce the fire hazards associated with flyers and signs that often clutter residence halls. This policy applies to all recognized student groups and all departments at Monmouth University.
Materials from businesses and other community enterprises are prohibited from being in the residence halls and may only be posted in the Rebecca Stafford Student Center.
- Public areas (lobbies, hallways, main or corridor entrances, etc.)
- All materials will be approved by the Office of Residential Life and stamped accordingly. There should be 36 flyers (one per posting area) or 12 flyers (one per building) provided to the Office of Residential Life. Extra flyers will be recycled.
