  • Publicize the event as it is presented in the TAP process.
  • Include the sponsor name and contact information on all advertising.
  • Get approval from the assigned person for approved locations.

Banners and posters

Review UCSD's posting policies. Registered student organizations can make up to two 6-foot banners/ posters per organization per event for tabling or hanging at the Price Center.

  • Make your own banner or poster. The Center for Student Involvement office has markers and butcher paper available 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
