Yard Signs:

These standards were developed to provide a uniform and fair method of displaying

yard signs. The primary function of a yard sign is to provide information about an

upcoming event, university campaign, or to provide wayfinding/directions to a campus

event. Any other use of yard signs is prohibited.

walkways, within three feet of either side of the walkway, and at least four feet from any

other sign.

● Yard signs must be professionally printed and placed in the ground with a wire

stake or similar device.
