A request for a banner location may be made only by an authorized member of  University Department, Office, or Organization.  The authorized member making the request shall hereafter be referred to as the 'Requestor.'  The University Department, Office, or Organization he/she is representing shall hereafter be referred to as the 'Sponsor.'  A banner location may be reserved for three days prior to an event the banner will be advertising plus the days of the event.  The total number of days however may not exceed five for an event.  If a banner will not be advertising a specific event the banner location may only be reserved for three days.  Only one banner location may be reserved for a Sponsor for any given day.
Completion of this form does not confirm that a banner location is available for use.  A banner location is only confirmed when a Computer Reservation Form indicating the request as confirmed has been received by the Requestor.  The University Center reserves the right to revoke the Sponsor's reservation at any time if the sponsor fails to abide by the policies set forth here.  The Sponsor is responsible for hanging and removing their banner (except McAlister banner).

Banners must reflect a responsible attitude towards alcohol.  Banners which advertise events where alcohol will be served must not overtly or covertly state or imply an invitation to participate in excessive drinking.  Banners may not have any alcoholic beverages listed on them.  This includes event titles which include alcoholic beverages in them.  Banners may not have any illustrations that are identified with alcoholic consumption.  Banners must not degrade groups or individuals (including sexism).  Banners must have the Sponsor's name printed on them.  The University Center reserves the right to approve or disapprove banners based on the policies set forth here.

There are four interior banner locations available.  They are the Mezzanine Railing 1,  the Mezzanine Railing 2, the U.C. Railing, and the Quad Entrance Doors.  Banners placed on the Mezzanine and U.C. Railings may not exceed 3'-0" in height and 16'-0" in length.  Banners placed on the glass over the Quad Entrance Door may be made two different ways.  First they can be made in three pieces so that one piece is attached to each glass section.  Each glass section measures 5'-03/4"x 5'-6 1/2".  Second, the banner may be made on one piece.  For this the banner must be 17'3" long and cannot exceed 5'-3" in height.  Remember to leave at least a one-inch border and plan for the dividing mullions when doing it this way.  The dividing mullions are 2-3/4" wide.

There is one exterior banner location.  This is the McAlister Drive Location.  Sponsors planning banners in this location must provide banners which have been painted on 6 yards of "unprinted duck" canvas.  Do not write on the border of the canvas and leave 8-10 inches on either end, and at least 2 inches on the top and bottom.  There must be a seam on top and bottom to hold the rope.  The sponsor must provide the rope to hang the banner.  Student Organizations must make a request to Physical Plant at least two weeks in advance to hang their banner across McAlister. 

The Sponsor is responsible for the hanging and removal of banner (except Mc Alister banner).  Banners must be removed by 8:00 a,m., the day following the end of their reservation time.  All tape and remaining paper from the banner must be removed.  Failure to remove a banner will result in the banner being thrown away and possible loss of future banner reservations.
