Chalking Policy
REVISED JULY, 2001
Chalking Policy
It is the policy of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to
prohibit defacement of university property, including both interior
and exterior surfaces. This includes prohibiting display of
messages and symbols through use of chalk, paint and other permanent
or temporary substances on sidewalks, plazas, windows, doors,
walls, sculptures, benches and other surfaces. Free-standing
temporary signs on green spaces are also prohibited.
The only designated area where chalking is permitted is
the plaza area North of the Nebraska Union.

The General University Policy and Procedure for Student
Organizations states the following:
"Sidewalk Advertising"
Recognized student organizations wishing to use NU sidewalks
to advertise organization activities are to comply with the
following guidelines:
Organizations are limited to advertising on the Nebraska
Union Memorial Plaza. Please contact the Nebraska Union representatives
at 472-2181 for plaza boundaries and regulations.
The event to be advertised must be an official organization
activity and registered through the Event Planning and Registration
process with the Student Involvement office.
The first step in gaining permission to use NU sidewalks for
advertising is to stop in the Student Involvement office and
register the advertising activity.
A sketch of how the advertising/announcement will appear on
the sidewalk must be provided by the organization along with
a list of materials to be used. The design must incorporate
the student organization’s name or a clearly identifiable
organization logo. All materials must be water soluble.
Organizations will be subject to cleanup charges for event
advertising that appears in unauthorized areas.
Advertising may appear on sidewalks four (4) days prior to
an activity. Organization members are encouraged to wash off
advertising upon completion of the activity. Advertising can
remain for three (3) days after an event. If advertising remains
after 3 days the organization may be assessed clean-up charges
by Landscape Services or Nebraska Unions.
Approval of sidewalk advertising will be granted on an individual
case basis by the Director of the Nebraska Unions or the Vice
Chancellor for Business and Finance and Landscape Services.
If approval is denied, it is recommended that the administrator
provide a brief written explanation to the student organization.
