In the interest of facility maintenance and effectiveness of display and aesthetics, the following guidelines for display materials have been established.
Guidelines for Approval
- Postings should look nice and be true to purpose intended.
- Postings should be limited to 8 1/2" x 11" or less in size.
- Necessary information (contact name & phone number) must be provided.
- Messages should not discriminate.
- Use appropriate language.
- Because of space limitations, commercial solicitation is not allowed unless it's an event on campus.
- Postings should abide by laws and reflect good morals, manners, and taste.
- Events should not conflict with campus activities.
- Preference given to internal fundraising (clubs, etc.)
If your postings follow these guidelines, the next step is to bring your copies to the Office of Student Activities for review and approval.
Locations
There are 15 different locations available for posting. Eleven boards are located at Main Campus, one at Romeoville Campus, one at City Center Campus, one at Morris Campus, and one in the Centennial Commons Club House (club use only). We also request a copy of your posting for our office.

Additional Spaces:
There are five bulletin boards located on the bridge. These boards can be used by clubs and departments, but clubs have priority in the reservation process. In addition, there are six standing signs for club or student organizations. Due to the limited number of signs, they can only be reserved for the week of an event. For availability of boards or signs, come to the Office of Student Activities.
Areas Not to Post
These are the areas and conditions under which material may not be displayed:
- On the exterior of any permanent or temporary building
- On the exterior/interior of any window or glass wall
- Affixed with any adhesive, masking tape, or scotch tape to a painted surface on any building or furniture surface
- Suspended in any way so as to hamper or impede the proper flow of traffic, either pedestrian or vehicular to any facility
- On any vehicle parked on JJC grounds
Submitting Postings
When you have all of the copies made, please bring them to the Office of Student Activities on the bridge where the posting will be reviewed and stamped for approval. If your posting does not meet approval for general posting, we will post them at the two free speech boards in J and C Buildings only.
We ask that you submit the materials no later than one week prior to the date you wish them to be posted. If the posting is approved, you will be asked to submit a contact name, a phone number, the name of the organization, and purpose of your posting. Your materials will then be posted on the appropriate boards where they will remain for two weeks.
For more information on posting policies please contact Laurie Bierman at (815) 280-2308 or email lbeirmen@jjc.edu.
