Governs the following: Flyers, Mass E-mails, Written Materials

Distribution is available for registered student organizations and University departments only

Registered student organizations and University departments wishing to send out information to students by way of flyer distribution to residence halls must:

Complete a Flyer Distribution Request Form (each field must be completed.)
Return the form to the Office of Residence Life along with the appropriate number of copies of the flyer(s) to be distributed.
Pre-pay the cost of distribution (See rate structure).
No external vendor is permitted to post flyers or leave materials in any residence hall without the written permission of the Director of Residence Life.
Electronic e-mail blasts to student accounts are not offered as a method of promoting events or distributing general information. This type of communication is reserved for safety related announcements and University Housing information.
The Office of Residence Life reserves the right to refuse distribution of materials found to be inappropriate (example: materials that would be offensive and not in line with the principles of the Carolinian Creed, those promoting alcohol or drugs)
Violations of this policy will result in the loss of future material distribution for one calendar year.

For more information concerning flyer distribution, please contact Office of Residence Life 777-4129

Dear Campus Partner,

Residence Life welcomes the opportunity to distribute information to students and staff via flyers and posters. We accept flyers from University-approved programs, departments, and activities only. They must be approved by our office and we reserve the right to reject flyers because of content. Because of time constraints on our staff we do not sort, count, or label your flyers and we would appreciate your doing those tasks before bringing them to us for distribution. If materials are not sorted as noted below, we will not approve their distribution.

Please separate your flyers by building. Then secure a label (please use a paperclip) with the name of the residence hall and number of flyers attached. These numbers allow enough flyers to be posted on each floor and lobby.

When you have finished counting and paper clipping your flyers, bring them to the Residence Life office at 1309 Blossom Street in McBryde C. For your convenience, the amounts required for each residence hall is listed below.

Thank you for your cooperation - we certainly do appreciate it.

Please note:

The Office of Residence Life applies a stamp ("FLYERS APPROVED - Res. Life - USC") on everything we display. If flyers are posted by someone other than our staff (and therefore do not have the stamp) they will be removed and the organization/department/activity will lose the privilege of posting for a period of one year.
