Campus Bulletin Boards

Northern Virginia Community College communicates with its community and students on a daily basis, both visually and verbally. To maintain a consistent visual identity, both as a college and as individual campuses, NOVA makes a unified and coherent impression that strengthens its image and public awareness as an institution of quality.

College students, college employees, and staff, as well as community members wanting to place a flyer on any AN Student Life Bulletin Boards, must submit the flyer for review and approval to the Student Life office. Please email your flyers for review to ANStudentLife@nvcc.edu, or bring them to our office in CFH 224.

All flyers must be approved and stamped by the Office of Student Life prior to being placed on the boards.
Only Student Life Staff can place flyers on the boards. Do not place them yourself as they need to be stamped by the Student Life Office.
Flyers are subject to the "General Posting Policy Guidelines." Flyers must contain content that aligns with the mission and standards of the college. Handwritten flyers will not be approved, only typed ones. Additionally, all flyers must have an English translation to gain approval.
Once approved, flyers can be posted in designated areas. Advertisement priority is given to on-campus groups/organizations and activities.

Any postings found without approval from the Office of Student Life will be removed and subject to further disciplinary action and/or fines for solicitation.
