With warmer weather and many events happening at the end of the academic year, you may see more chalk messages on sidewalks around campus. Here are some reminders on CU Boulder’s chalking policy, as part of the Campus Use of University Facilities Procedures (PDF).

• Chalking is permitted for student organizations and university departments to promote events, within guidelines.
• Chalking may not be used to promote organizations or events that are not affiliated with the university.
• Chalking must be done by using water-soluble stick-chalk that quickly fades away with the natural elements within a few days.
• Chalking is restricted to concrete or asphalt exterior sidewalks that are exposed to natural elements.
• Chalking can be erased, without notice, if they do not comply with university policies and regulations. No one other than authorized university personnel may erase or alter chalked messages.
