Review for Student Organization Banners

All student organization banners hung across Doherty Hall must be approved by the Office of Student Involvement and Tradition before continuing the steps below – learn more about student organization marketing.

Design Review Committee Approval

All exterior banners to be hung on campus buildings or facilities must be approved by CMU's Design Review Committee, which monitors changes to the physical state of campus. For approval, email the following to the committee's chair, which is the Associate Vice President of CMU's Campus Design and Facility Development department:

  • Graphic of the banner
  • Banner size
  • Desired building location
  • How long the banner will be posted (banners should be removed within 48 hours after the advertised event concludes and be up no longer than 30 days total)

Banner Installation Request

Once your banner request is approved by the Design Review Committee, you must request banner installation by Facilities Management Services (FMS) to ensure that no damage is caused to the exterior of campus facilities. To request installation:

  • Forward the email of your Design Review Committee approval to fixit@andrew.cmu.edu
  • Submit a service request for FMS to hang the banner, indicating the dates of installation and removal
