1. The University endorses the use of on-campus banners and non-permanent signage that
   adhere to the following guidelines. These standards are established to protect University
   buildings and property from possible damage; to ensure the safety and security of
   students, faculty and staff; to protect the visual appearance and environment of the
   University; and to support the University’s overall brand and message.
2. All requests to install banners on the buildings or grounds of the University of Utah
   must first be approved by the departments of University Marketing & Communications
   and Facilities Management.
3. Banner designs and content must fall within the University’s Speech Policy (1-007)
   and must promote events, programs or activities at the University of Utah (or sponsored
   by the University of Utah or its entities). Banners or signs that promote or advertise
   for products, events or activities not sponsored by the University or its entities,
   or not located on the University of Utah, are not permitted.
4. Any banners or temporary signs will only be approved on the following basis:
   • 4.1. The overall design is compatible with the design of the façade of the building
     or structure to which the banner/sign will be attached.
   • 4.2. The design broadly reflects the University’s overall brand identity and includes
     an easily legible official logo.
   • 4.3. The banner/sign is maintained in good condition.
   • 4.4. The requesting organization works with University Marketing & Communications
     and Facilities Management well in advance of the date needed for the banner/sign to
     be posted.
5. Banners/signs mounted on ground-installed poles or posts have additional regulations.
   • 5.1. The poles or posts must be installed by Facility Operations (Facilities Management)
     in order to ensure underground utilities, sprinkler lines and other infrastructure
     are not damaged.
   • 5.2. The requesting organization will pay installation and mounting/removal costs.
   • 5.3. Poles/posts thus installed become the property of the University of Utah and
     may be scheduled by the Scheduling Office for the posting of other banners and signs
     throughout the year.
     • 5.3.1. The requesting organization may engage Facilities Management to remove the
       posts or poles.
     • 5.3.2. Banners removed by Facilities Management must be claimed by the owner/sponsor
       within 48 hours. Facilities Management will not store banners that have been removed,
       and will not be responsible for banners unclaimed after 48 hours.
   • 5.4. Banners/signs promoting specific events or activities must be removed within
     five (5) days following the event. Signs left up longer than five days may be removed
     by Facilities Management and the posting organization will be charged. Banners must
     be claimed as per 5.3.2 above.
   • 5.5. Banners regulated by the Scheduling Office are subject to Additional Approvals.
6. Posting banners/signs on buildings is discouraged by the University. Some latitude,
   however, has been granted to auxiliary organizations. Banner requests from auxiliary
   organizations for posting on buildings will be considered individually. In general:
   Requests for a banner or temporary sign may be approved if:
   • 6.1. Installation of the banner will not damage the building or structure on which
     it is affixed. This includes a prohibition against drilling holes in the brick, stone,
     roof or other exterior finish materials of the buildings or structures.
   • 6.2. Installation methods and details must be reviewed and approved by Facilities
     Management prior to installation. The completed installation will be inspected and
     approved by the Facilities Management Department.
   • 6.3. Banner designs must be reviewed and approved by University Marketing & Communications
     prior to installation.
   • 6.4. Banners will be maintained in good condition. Banners that, in the opinion of
     Facilities Management or University Marketing & Communications, have become worn,
     torn, faded, soiled or otherwise defaced will be removed at the expense of the posting
     organization.
   • 6.5. Historic buildings or structures deemed appropriate for architectural preservation
     will receive an even more rigorous screening from Facilities Management before posting
     approval will be considered.
   • 6.6. Banners will be approved for display for a specified and limited length of time,
     after which they must be removed.
7. Requests from all other campus entities for posting banners/signs on buildings are
   typically not approved. Special requests may be considered when made by the organization’s
   cognizant vice president. In addition to adhering to the guidelines listed above (6.1
   – 6.6), the posting of banners/signs by non-auxiliary entities on buildings are not
   to exceed 30 days and must be related to a special event (e.g., donor recognition,
   promotion of symposia, etc.). Signs must be removed within five (5) days following
   the event. Signs left up longer than five days may be removed by Facilities Management
   and the posting organization will be charged. Banners that are removed by Facilities
   Management must be reclaimed as per 5.3.2.
8. Requests for banners/signs in other locations, such as on landscape features, canopies,
   railings, support structures, etc., will be considered on an individual basis. Approval
   for such banners will be considered on the basis of the conditions and limitations
   listed for building installations, above, as applicable.
9. Banners designed for posting on identified lamp posts around campus must also meet
   University Marketing & Communication and Facilities Management parameters.
   • 9.1. Banners are limited to a maximum of three months’ posting time for any one organization
     or promotion.
   • 9.2. Lampposts on campus are reserved for promoting University events and activities.
     No organization or promotion can reserve more than half the available lamp post locations
     at any one time.
   • 9.3. Access to the posts is prioritized, with institutional events (e.g., Homecoming,
     Founders Day, Plazafest, etc.) having first priority. Second priority is assigned
     to university-related events (e.g., Athletics, ASUU, UMFA, UMNH, Women’s Week, etc.),
     and commercial non-campus organizations in partnership with University groups take
     third priority.
   • 9.4. Posting organizations are responsible for ensuring their banners match the hanging
     requirements of the lamp posts.
10. Banners and signs posted in conjunction with ASUU Student Elections must follow guidelines
    in Redbook, as well as in the Candidate Information Packet, and Elections Regulations
    and Guidelines issued for the respective election year. Candidate signs for general
    public elections shall not be posted on campus grounds.
