Commode Chronicles Guidelines

In order to advertise in the Commode Chronicles, ads must fit into one of the following categories:
  1. UCCS Student Clubs & Organizations
  2. Campus Wide Events or Departmental Services/Offerings
  3. UCCS Auxiliary Department Services and Events (as the publication is funded through Auxiliary Departments)

The promotion of non-university organizations is not allowed unless they have an official business partnership/relationship with UCCS. To comply with University policy, all programs, services and events advertised in the Commode Chronicles must be open to anyone in the campus community and may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, political affiliation, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status. 


UCCS Student Clubs & Organizations
Advertised events must be hosted by a UCCS registered/recognized club or organization. Events must be registered and approved through the ROAR Office and be open to all students. The purpose of the Commode Chronicles is not to advertise member only events. 


Campus Wide Events or Departmental Services
Ads must be for an event or service that appeals to/affects a large percentage of students, faculty and/or staff.


UCCS Auxiliary Departments
Ads must be for an event sponsored by or service offered by a UCCS Auxiliary Department.
