8 Student Handbook > Expressive Activities Outdoor Bulletin Boards and Kiosks: Previous text allowed posting on outdoor bulletin boards and kiosks with certain restrictions (e.g., stamp requirement, size limits, and “buy-sale-trade” postings). These sections have been removed entirely from the updated version. Dean of Student Development References: The term “Dean of Student Development” appeared multiple times (e.g., in the definition of Authorized College Official and in jurisdiction over bulletin boards). All such references have been removed and replaced with appropriate administrative titles or generalized departmental responsibility. Authorized College Officials: Definition previously listed “Campus Dean of Student Development, Coordinator of Student Engagement & Activities, Director of Campus Services or their delegates.” Updated to include only Coordinator of Student Engagement & Activities, Director of Campus Services, or their delegates. Posting Regulations: Language referring to posting on outdoor bulletin boards or kiosks was deleted. Text now focuses solely on designated outdoor areas and indoor bulletin boards managed by departments or Student Engagement staff. Expressive Activities San Jacinto College affirms the right to free inquiry and expression in accordance with the First Amendment and Texas Education Code §51.9315. The College expects all expressive activities to be conducted respectfully, safely, and in compliance with College policies and laws. Reasonable restrictions on time, place, and manner may apply as outlined in College policy and procedures. Relevant Policies and Procedures: Board Policy VII.7003.A, Expressive Activities Board Procedure VII.7003.A.a, Expressive Activities. Carrying Signs or Displaying Signs: Students may carry signs in outdoor common areas without prior approval. Signs must be made of paper or lightweight materials—no sticks, poles, or rigid supports. Prohibited content includes obscenity, defamation, harassment, true threats, commercial promotion, or unlawful material. Signs may not block walkways, entrances, or create safety hazards. Violations may result in sign confiscation and disciplinary action under the Code of Student Conduct (Sections 3.4.6 and 3.15). Posting Signs in Outdoor Common Areas: Registered student organizations may post signs and banners in approved outdoor areas with prior authorization. Individual students may post only in designated outdoor areas as permitted by College procedures. Outdoor signs must include contact information for the sponsoring student or organization. Two-sign limit per organization per area; size limits apply (3x5 inches to 22x28 inches). Signs advertising events must be removed within 14 days or one day after the event. Appeals of denied posting requests may be submitted to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Services. All prior references to outdoor bulletin boards or kiosks have been removed. Posting Signs on Indoor Bulletin Boards: Students and student organizations may not post signs on walls, ceilings, windows, or doors of any College building. College bulletin boards are limited and not designated for free expression. General and special-purpose bulletin boards are under the jurisdiction of the appropriate department or administrative unit maintaining them. Indoor postings require prior approval and expiration-date stamping by a Student Engagement and Activities Coordinator or designee; removal is required within 24 hours after expiration. Unauthorized postings may result in removal and disciplinary action. All references to the Dean of Student Development have been removed. Authorized College Officials: Authorized officials for postings and expressive activity approvals include the Coordinator of Student Engagement & Activities, the Director of Campus Services, or their delegates. 10/24/2025
