Folsom Lake College Publications &
Posting Guidelines for Clubs
These Folsom Lake College Publications & Posting Guidelines have been approved by the Matriculation and
Student Success Committee (May 14, 2003), approved by the Academic Senate (November 21, 2003), and
updated with new graphic standards and posting information (April 2006). These guidelines are published by the
college’s Public Information Office, working with the Student Life Coordinator.
The goal of these publications and posting guidelines is to help campus clubs and organizations effectively produce
and display flyers and other promotional materials. Materials should be designed to inform the Folsom Lake
College, El Dorado Center, and Rancho Cordova Center communities, on campus and off, about special events of
interest.
The guidelines are established with the purposes of:
Providing simple-to-understand procedures for producing and posting flyers, announcements, posters, and
banners.
Maintaining the aesthetics of the buildings.
Ensuring that all groups have equal access.
General Posting Guidelines
Materials shall not be placed over or obstruct the view of previously posted materials or directional, emergency, or
warning signs. College Police Officers have the express right to remove an item that clearly causes a safety hazard.
Slurs and/or denigration of any cultural group or individual are strictly forbidden.
Any item that has not followed the Publications and Posting Guidelines process is subject to removal.
What can be posted?
Student Activities and Events
The Student Life Coordinator will approve flyers, posters, and banners for student-related on-campus activities and
events.
Where can flyers and posters be placed?
General Guidelines
Flyers, posters, and other promotional materials can be placed in designated posting areas. Check with the
Student Life Coordinator for the latest information.
The sponsoring group or individual is responsible for removing all fliers, postings, and adhesive materials
by the date indicated on the item.
Materials may not be affixed to: any painted or slate walls, poles, or fixtures; entrance doors to buildings;
in front of the Bookstore; lampposts; college signs; trees; windows; or architectural features.
Classrooms
Flyers and posters promoting classes and/or college programs and services may be posted on bulletin
boards and tack boards in classrooms, information boards, and glass cases. First priority for space inside
the classroom or boards or strips just outside the room is given to classes held inside a particular room.
Instructors may coordinate the use of classroom wall space for displaying student work or course-related
material.
A-Frames
The A-frames at FLC and EDC are for course promotions. Flyers are placed on a first-come, first served
basis. Student Services information may be placed in available space between registration periods.
5 Things Your Flyer Needs
Here are five things to include on each flyer you do:
1. Name of club or campus organization
2. General information about the event/meeting
3. The day, time, and location of the event/meeting; be sure to list the campus, either main Folsom campus,
El Dorado Center or Rancho Cordova Center
