The
Campus Use of University Facilities (CUUF) policy states, the term “chalking” refers to using chalk on sidewalks for messages. The university restricts chalking to concrete or asphalt exterior sidewalks that are exposed to natural elements.
Chalking is prohibited in the following locations:
- building exteriors including walls, doors, windows, facades, roofs, retaining walls, exterior vertical surfaces, benches, surfaces intended for seating and horizontal surfaces under overhangs or roofs
- inside buildings
- patios, plazas or terraces
- within 10 feet of any building entrance or doorway
- in the UMC arcade
Chalking must be done by using stick-chalk that quickly fades away with the natural elements within a few days. The use of spray paint and/or spray chalk is not permitted. The university may erase any chalked messages that do not comply with university policies or regulations.
Chalking may only be used to promote university programs or student activities. Chalking may not be used for commercial purposes, including advertising or other promotion. Existing chalked messages that otherwise comply with this policy may not be erased, overwritten, altered, defaced or otherwise removed except by university personnel.
Any person or organization found to have violated the chalking section of this policy may lose chalking privileges, be subjected to disciplinary action and/or be required to pay the cost of removal.
If you need chalk, stop by the CSI Resource Center in UMC 330 to pick some up!
