Bicycles, Skates & Skateboards Policy

For the safety of all, the use of bicycles,

skateboards, in-line or roller skates are not

allowed within the Frank G. Pogue Student 

Center.  Bicycles may be ridden on University

bike paths and should be parked in the bicycle

racks provided by the University.  Skating or

skateboarding is allowed on campus, but must

Firearm Policy

The Board of Governors policy prohibits the possession of and/or discharge of firearms and/or explosives on Edinboro University of Pennsylvania property. 

Open Flame Policy

No candles or other open flames are allowed in the Frank G. Pogue Student Center or in University Residence Halls.

Noise Policy

In order to provide usable space for all groups inside the Frank G. Pogue Student Center, amplified sounds must be held to acceptable levels.  The Student Center staff is authorized to ask any group to bring their activity to within acceptable sound levels.

Trash

In addition to being unattractive, a garbage can is a health hazard.  If an event will generate a large amount of trash, arrangements must be made for its disposal.  Depending on the location, size and duration of the event, such arrangements may include the need for additional trash containers and/or additional staff to empty existing containers.

Smoking

Smoking is not prohibited inside the Frank G. Pogue Student Center.

Advertising Policy

Organizations wishing to post items anywhere in the Frank G. Pogue Student Center must leave items at the Information Desk to be approved – this includes fliers, table tents, etc.  References made to alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The Student Center staff reserves the right to remove any items that are not posted accordance with these guidelines or other policies established by the University.  If it is desired to have items advertised in the food court, one must have them approved by Dining Services staff.

Storage of Personal Items

The Frank G. Pogue Student Center will not store personal items.  Therefore, personal items may not be left at the Information Desk or placed in the Student Center storerooms for any period of time.  We will store items for departments or organizations on campus overnight if it is related to an event that is taking place in the building.

Locked Areas

No one may enter locked areas of the building without permission from a Frank G. Pogue Student Center staff member.  This includes locked meeting rooms, storerooms, etc.  Only on-duty Student Center staff should be accessing those areas, and for business purposes only.

Shipments and/or Events Requiring Large items to be brought in

All shipments and large items must be brought through the Frank G. Pogue Student Center loading dock on the south end of the building.  Parking cars on the sidewalks outside the building to load or unload items is prohibited.  It not only poses access issues for students, but also potential safety hazards.   

Decoration Policy

The Student Activities and Frank G. Pogue Student Center Office should be consulted before a final decision is made regarding the purchase of major decorations for an event.  The use of all decorations should be reviewed with the staff prior to the event.  University staff and equipment are available to help with decorations if arrangements are made in advance.  Since the condition of the Student Center needs to be protected for all users, failure to seek proper approval for decorations may result in their removal, and charges for any room damage they may have caused.

Decorations for an event must not pose fore or safety risks, or damage any University property.  Appropriate placement is important to ensure proper facility maintenance and compliance with city codes.  Decorations should be hung or placed in designated areas only.  Material cannot be suspended from light fixtures or from the ceiling.  Tape, glue, thumbtacks, or adhesive cannot be used on wall surfaces.  Exhibits that require flame, glitter, or water are prohibited.

Removal of all decorations and props immediately after an event is the responsibility of the client, and a fee will be assessed for any decorations not completely removed.

Changes to setup or technical requests will be implemented when possible, however, we may not be able to honor requests made with inadequate advance notice.
