Relevant Excerpt

Southeastern Louisiana University encourages and supports the widespread promotion of sanctioned and approved campus events and activities as a vital part of a thriving university community. At the same time, the University recognizes that an attractive physical environment is crucial to its overall advancement. This policy governs the placement of signs, flyers, posters, banners, and similar materials on campus. Where activities constitute an event, the Registration of Activities (ROA) process applies in addition to this policy. 

...

Policy Procedure 

1. Determine whether ROA event registration is required. Before requesting sign/flyer/poster approval, confirm whether the activity must be registered through the Registration of Activities (ROA) process managed by the Dean of Students Office. An ROA is required for most on‑campus events and certain off‑campus activities as defined by the University.

2. Prepare your materials. Have a sample of each sign/flyer/poster (print or electronic) ready for review, including exact wording, dimensions, and proposed locations.

3. Complete the Sign/Poster/Flyer Approval Form. Fill in organization/individual information and attach the exact wording or a sample of each sign. Obtain Building Coordinator signature(s) for each proposed location, then return the signed form to the Dean of Students Office for final approval.
