Poster Policy

At Trent Durham GTA, we welcome creativity and self-expression, and we believe that posters are an important part of sharing different aspects of the student experience. In order to allow for clear communication about campus events and initiatives and maintain a safe and organized campus environment, we have established a poster policy that outlines where posters can be placed and who can post them.

The poster policy asks that posters are placed in designated locations around campus. This helps to prevent clutter and confusion and helps students and staff know where to look to find information about campus services and upcoming events.

To learn more about our poster policy, including designated locations, who can post, and the specific guidelines that must be followed, please download the PDF Poster Policy document. We encourage all students, and staff to review this policy before creating or posting any posters on campus, and to participate by ensuring that posters follow these basic guidelines:

Guidelines:

• Posters should be placed in designated poster areas according to the type of information being presented. Poster types include:
  • Event: A poster advertising a one-time date. (For example: Halloween Trivia on October 31.)
  • Recurring Event: A poster advertising an event that is recurring (For example: a Club meeting every Tuesday at 2 p.m.)
  • Campus Information: A poster advertising the availability and hours of a service or function in or outside of Trent Durham. (For example: Trent International Office Hours, DRCC information, etc.)
  • Community: A poster advertising engagement information from students to their peers (For example: Participation in studies and research projects, band tryouts, etc.)
• Posters should have an event date or expiry date by which they should be removed to make room for new posters
• Posters should be approved by a relevant approver
  • For clubs and student groups, the approver is the Trent Durham Student Association
  • For events, service information or other information originating from Trent, the approver is a designated member of the Events Committee
• Posters for external groups, including commercial or non-commercial advertising, are not permitted
  • Organizations with a connection to a student group or faculty member can be placed on campus in an appropriate designated poster area 

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and organized campus environment.
