MARSHALL CENTER CHALKING & FLYER POLICY
Chalking sidewalks around the Marshall Student Center may be done by student organizations, departments, tenants, or individual students of the USF Community. The following guidelines must be met:
- Chalking is only permitted on the North and South entrances to the building and the sidewalks immediately adjacent to the Marshall Student Center. The Marshall Student Center does not have the authority to grant approval for other sidewalks on campus.
- Chalking on the concrete sidewalks located under the breezeway between the Marshall Student Center and the Special Events Center is not permitted. Chalking on any area where there is an overhang preventing rain from reaching is not permitted.
- Chalking on the south patio area adjacent to the Tampa Room Food Court is not permitted.
- Chalked messages only last two to three days so you might want to plan to chalk the day before or the day of the event for maximum visibility.
- No chalking on the painted ramps leading to the Marshall Student Center.
- No chalking within 6 feet from any door to prevent chalk from being tracked into the lobby.
- Chalking of interior areas is strictly prohibited.
- Chalking is not permitted on exterior stairways, landing/patio areas, or any vertical surface.
- No crayons, markers, or paint are allowed -- only chalk (colored or white).
- Crayola “Sidewalk Paint” which is a liquid version of sidewalk chalk is permitted with the following limitations:
- Sidewalk paint can be used on concrete and asphalt surfaces only; it cannot be used on the brick pavers in front of the Marshall Student Center or on any painted surface.
- Any signage created using “Sidewalk Paint” must be removed after 14 days since there is a possibility of staining if left on after 2 weeks. Chalkings left longer than 14 days will be removed and the student, organizations, department or tenant will be billed for the cleaning costs.
Flyers are only permitted to be posted on the Tacky Spot Bulletin Board in the Tampa Room Food Court and the bulletin board in the lower level lobby. The posting or taping of flyers the ramps, building columns, or any exterior portion of the building is prohibited.
The placing of table tents or flyers on tables in the Tampa Food Court or other areas of the Marshall Student Center may be permitted for student organizations and university departments with approval from the Marshall Student Center Marketing Department. Candidates running for Student Government Office cannot place table tents/flyers on tables in the Marshall Student Center; however, the Marshall Student Center will prepare and place table tents and other promotional items throughout the building during election week to encourage students to vote, advising students of the on-line website, and listing the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.
