Email Policies: Individuals who wish to use KU email in support of external organizations must secure written or email approval of the Provost or the Provost's designee. The Provost ordinarily will approve such use only when it furthers (KU's mission and goals).

Policy on Bulletin Boards, Postings, and Sidewalk Chalk: "General Use" bulletin boards are located at various campus sites and are intended primarily for use by KU students, faculty, and staff. Materials allowed include information about community events and community classifieds.

Campus Mail: The use of campus mail for personal, business, solicitation, or political purposes is expressly prohibited. Exceptions may be granted by the Chancellor or Executive Vice Chancellor when the exception is deemed to be in the best interests of the University.

Campus mail boxes in various departments and buildings are considered to be under the jurisdiction of the unit in which they are located. Materials may be placed directly by individuals in these campus mail boxes if permission has been obtained from the appropriate person in the unit with jurisdiction over that particular campus mail box.

Student Housing: Student housing does not allow signs, bills, or fliers of any type to be posted by outside organizations.

For detailed information regarding methods of communication, please review the university policy on the use of equipment, facilities, personnel, and other resources.
