Indiana Wesleyan University
Student Center Posting Policies

Printable version 


The Office of Conference Services is responsible for approving, stamping, dating, posting and removing all materials distributed or displayed in the Student Center. Items without the proper approval will be removed and discarded. Approved items are generally limited to events and activities sponsored by Indiana Wesleyan University. Materials from off-campus organizations require additional approval from the Director of Conference Services or the Student Center Manager.


In addition to the guidelines listed below, no adhesive of any kind should be used on glass, painted columns or walls. This includes but is not limited to sticky tack, masking tape, duct tape and scotch tape. No postings of any kind are allowed on the inside and outside doors of the Student Center. All signs and posters hung improperly or without approval will be removed and thrown away.


All signs, flyers, posters, banners and table tents can be taken to the Information Desk or sent through campus mail to Conference Services for approval.

You may also inquire at the Print Shop (x2212) for full color and the Sign Shop (x2313) for vinyl printing options. Handmade banners using markers or paint can continue to hang in the Commons and in the Piazza, but will not hang on the Sky Bridges or the banner poles.

  • The content for banners is limited to events sponsored by the university or a campus organization. Personal banners advertising birthdays or anniversaries, or banners advertising for retail, restaurants, churches or youth groups are not accepted.
  • Banners may not cover the verse or TV monitors in the Commons, or vents and exit signs.
  • Floor banners are not allowed in the Student Center.
