Posting Procedures

Time: All posters, flyers, banners and signs must include a statement of non-affiliation with Sonoma State University to receive a date stamp at Division of Student Affairs.

For general information (club meetings, department announcements, etc.), an expiration date of one month from the time of stamping will be noted on the poster/flyer/banner.
