Chalking the Quad – Can ROs chalk the Quad or chalk other points on campus?
Yes, Registered Organizations may chalk the Quad and other horizontal points (sidewalks) across campus. In accordance with the Student Code, certain provisions must be adhered to when RO’s chalk across campus. In short, “playground/sidewalk chalk” may be used on horizontal surfaces for temporary/timely campaigns and announcements. Horizontal is critical because it can be easily removed by rain and such elements. Vertical surfaces, including the sides of building, columns, walls, benches, etc., is prohibited. Spray chalk is also prohibited due to its permanent nature in vandalizing and defacing university facilities. Free chalk is available for RO use in the Illini Union ReSOurce Center, located in 285 Illini Union adjacent to the Student Organization Complex.
