Digital Signage

Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), Campus Life Programs (CLPs), and UMD departments are eligible to submit posters for campus-wide digital signage. Kirby Student Center controls only content on screens within the building, not across campus. Submissions may be sent to [email protected].

Posters for digital signage must meet the following criteria:

  1. Include the sponsoring organization or department;
  2. Be sized at 497x768 pixels (or 11" x 17"); and
  3. Saved as a JPG or PDF. 

Display Cases

There are six display cases in the stairwells of Kirby Student Center, designed for larger (4' x 3') banners. These cases are reservable online for a period of Monday at 7:00AM - Sunday at 10:00PM. Organizations are limited to one display case per week, with possible exceptions during peak times of the year at the discretion of Kirby staff. Reservations for display cases are made in Mazévo.


Chalking

Chalking is permitted on concrete sidewalks only for a maximum of ten days and must contain the name of the sponsoring organization. It may not interfere with any other messages already chalked. The chalking material must be water-soluble (sidewalk) chalk. It must be placed in a location not covered by an overhang, in an open area that can be naturally washed by rainfall. Chalking is forbidden on:

  • All vertical surfaces, including any walls or columns
  • Buildings
  • Bus stops
  • Steps
  • Mailboxes or newsstands
  • Benches
  • Picnic tables
  • Light poles or other poles
  • Existing signs
  • Trees

Facilities Management reserves the right to clean any chalking that does not follow these guidelines, with associated charges being the responsibility of the sponsoring organization.
