Digital signage is primarily intended for use by USC Aiken recognized student groups and university departments. Slides must advertise university-sponsored events only. No personal events, sales, or advertisements will be accepted. Personal events include, but are not limited to, parties, yard sales, and birthdays.
-
For events, slides must include the following: the sponsor of the event, event name, location, date, and time. You may want to also include information such as costs, contact information or registration, etc.
-
Submissions must be made at least five business days in advance of the event date.
-
The marketing department has the right to review and approve or deny all slides submitted.
-
Slides may be rejected based on content, language, pictures, images, or references to alcohol.
-
Slides must comply with established University logo standards.
-
Messages that include the copyrighted or trademarked works of others will not be posted without written permission.
-
Slides are displayed for approximately 10 seconds at a time and in rotation with slides. Fonts should be easy for viewers to read. Please limit the amount of text, and make the text as large as possible.
