Bulletin Boards and Building Entrance Easels are an integral part of the College's communication system. There are three types of Bulletin Boards: Campus News, Departmental, and MICA Community.

Please be aware that postings are not allowed on campus building doors, walls, floors, windows or on exterior furniture, signs, trees, and poles. Any postings placed in those locations will be removed. If the postings are related to an academic class installation, an "Installation in Public Spaces" form must be submitted to the Office of Events, Bunting 350.

MICA, as an institution, does not promote or allow events that focus on the consumption of alcohol, including events that advertise alcohol of any kind including but not limited to ladies' nights, pub crawls, or all you can drink specials. Posters or flyers that contain images or language that might be considered inappropriate to some audiences may be limited to certain locations at the discretion of the Center for Student Engagement.

Every Friday, our office begins our distribution process for both flyers and posters. Any poster or flyer submitted by 5:00 pm on Thursday will be brought out for distribution and hung by, at the latest, that immediate Monday afternoon. Posters and Flyers will be displayed on a first-come, first serve basis, based on their submission date. We try and put up every poster and flyer we receive in a time sensitive way.  If there is no space or capacity, we will ensure that we will put it up the following Monday.  For posters, we will place the item in another available location on campus.

Bulletin Boards and Building Entrance Easels are designated into three categories

1. Campus News Bulletin Boards and Easels

are managed by the Center for Student Engagement (CSE) and are for the promotion of MICA events & announcements. Campus news Bulletin Boards are all over campus and can be easily identified. Please be advised that all posting policies must be followed. As a clarification, MICA events must be affiliated with a MICA department/office/student organization and must be open to all MICA students, faculty, and staff.

Overall guidelines for posting items on Campus News Bulletin Boards and Easels

• Materials should be brought to the Center for Student Engagement (located in Room 100 on the first floor of the Meyerhoff House) for approval.
• The Center for Student Engagement (CSE) must approve all materials posted on Campus News Bulletin Boards and Easels.
• A "Campus Posting Policy Form" must be filled out for each posting. If a flyer or poster does not contain the name of the sponsoring department/office, a "Campus Departmental Approval Form" must also be submitted.
• Approved postings will be given an "Completed" stamp. Any item displayed that has not been approved will be removed by CSE staff.
• Flyers/posters that will be approved include campus events & programs, academic & departmental events and opportunities, and general MICA news. 
• Posted items can remain up for 2 weeks prior to the event or until the advertised event has passed, whichever comes first. Expired items will be removed by CSE staff.
• Reoccurring meetings, productions, classes, and campus news will be allowed to stay posted for a maximum of one month, with the understanding that CSE reserves the right to temporarily remove posters to promote a more time-sensitive campus event.
• Postings should never cover that of another.
