• All costs for design, materials, construction, installation, repair and maintenance shall be the responsibility of the requestor.

Temporary Signage

• Temporary signage for special events is permitted.
• The use of temporary signage on ASU’s Polytechnic campus property must be approved by Facilities Management. Temporary signs not approved will be removed.
• Temporary signs must be of commercial quality, thereby reflecting a consistent and attractive appearance. Temporary signs consisting of paper, cardboard or similar materials affixed to street signs, utility poles, buildings, or other permanent campus signage are not permitted.
• Individuals or departments shall be responsible for the costs of repairing any damage to the signs caused by unauthorized use of ASU signs (for example, damage caused by tape, paint, nails, or screws).

Special Event Signage

• ASU’s Polytechnic campus Department of Parking and Transit Services (PTS) is responsible for event way-finding and parking signage.
• Event sponsors or department representatives should notify PTS and FM of special event signage requests at least five business days prior to the event.
• For Special Event Parking please use the form at http://www.poly.asu.edu/admin/pts/events to request special event parking.

• For other events, a department representative or sponsor may check out A-frame signs from PTS prior to the event.  Signage to be affixed to A-frames must be prepared according to standard specifications.  The signage and A-frame placement on campus must be approved by PTS.  The A-frames must be returned to PTS as soon as practical following the event.
• Any signage that does not conform to the standards outlined herein will be removed.
