The Monmouth University Student Center is considered the “living room” of the campus. It is used by and for the MU community to host lectures, workshops, and events. It is also a place where people gather to eat, socialize, study, and relax. The center maintains this balance by presenting an environment that is friendly and inviting, one that celebrates the University’s diversity of culture and ideas through positive expressions. Since the center is one of the main information locations on campus, it is important that any advertisements posted in the center meet certain guidelines. The following regulations detail the center’s policies for advertisements in the building.
1. All advertisements must be approved and posted by the Office of Student Engagement or by the Division of Student Life. Items that you wish to be posted should be dropped off Monday through Friday, 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. (located on the second floor of the Student Center). Any items not stamped by the Student Center staff will be removed.
