Campus Poster Run

The Poster Run is available for CSU departments, offices, and registered student organizations, and events they sponsor as well as off-campus organizations. Space is limited, so advance reservations are highly encouraged. To reserve a space, apply for a spot using our online form, contact the Campus Information Managers at lsc_campusinfomanager@mail.colostate.edu, or stop by and see us at the LSC Information Desk.

  • Size: 11” x 17” or larger (additional cost)
  • Quantity: 25
  • Approval: submit to Campus Information desk in the LSC for approval
  • Run time: There are no restrictions on the number of times an organization may reserve a Poster Run spot during a semester; however, an organization may reserve only two spots per run (per week). Also, organizations can only reserve a maximum of two consecutive weeks per poster because of the high demand for spot reservations. You or your department may not reserve a Poster Run if there are any outstanding invoices.
  • Cost: a service fee of $25 for posters 11” x 17” or smaller. If the poster is larger than 11” x 17”, the sponsor must pay for two spaces for a total of $50. Posters larger than 17”x22” will not be accepted. A $50 payment is required for posters to remain for more than four weeks. Payment must be made at the time of reservation.
  • Checks must be payable to ‘Campus Information’ and IOs must be payable to ‘Campus Activities.’ Once you have submitted your payment you must fill out the Campus Information Payment Form that will be sent to you by the Campus Information Manager upon reservation and deliver the form along with your posters and payment to the Campus information desk. Posters without a Campus Information payment form will not be accepted.
  • The name of the CSU organization or department MUST be PRINTED on each poster. We will not accept handwritten additions of a sponsoring organization’s or department’s name. Posters should include the date, time, location, and price of the event, if and where applicable.
