Posters – Guidelines around posters and college regulations
Society Posters and online posts about events must include the following
• Society name • Date of event • Time of event • Venue • Nature of event (details).
Poster Content Posters which contain offensive or inappropriate photographs; abusive language or offensive written content; advertisements for or photographs of alcohol are not acceptable. The CSC does not operate a policy of censorship but it requires that Societies show an awareness of the sensibilities of others. If any Society is in doubt regarding the proposed content of a poster it should ask for guidance from the CSC. Should any society disregard these broad guidelines the CSC may implement its discretionary powers, outlined in section 6 of the Grants Policy Document.
Who may poster where? Please do not poster on non-CSC boards and remember that you are entitled to remove non-society posters from our boards. The only way this system can work, is if we police it ourselves. The notice boards in College are divided between the SU and CSC as follows.
Arts Building: board on the left as you go up the ramp – one board for CSC use one for SU use. The boards beyond the Leckyare split 50:50. Front Arch: split 50:50. Áras an Phiarsaigh: SU have 1, CSC two.
Players Theatre: 1/3 SU, 1/3 CSC, 1/3 Players. Pearse St Computer Labs: 1 board each. Hamilton Entrance: SU on the right at the door, CSC uses the 2 on the left. Hamilton first floor lobby: SU uses the first 2 on the right, CSC uses the next 3 boards on the right. Chemistry Building: 1/3 SU, 1/3 CSC & 1/3 Dep notices. Buttery/Catering Complex: split 50/50
