Advertising Guidelines

  • All ads must be reviewed and approved before space can be reserved. Every advertisement will be reviewed by the department, sponsorship office and/or the university.
  • Requests must be made at least two weeks prior to desired post date. It is recommended to submit requests as soon as possible to make sure the approval process does not delay posting date.
  • Off-campus groups must sign the emailed agreement to reserve advertising space. Campus groups must provide their KFS account number to reserve advertising space.
  • Student groups will require a KFS account to charge if printing is requested.
  • Student groups requesting the free Shuttle-UM ad posting must be registered through orgsync.umd.edu.
