Guidelines for Publicizing Events

  • The DigiKnow digital signage system is designed to distribute information to UCSB’s residential students and Dining Commons' visitors. HDAE utilizes DigiKnow to publicize events and programs and to post important Campus-related information.
  • In addition, DigiKnow is also available to University departments and registered student organizations to promote events open to all UCSB students.
  • In an emergency, DigiKnow will be dedicated to providing information and updates.
  • Ads may not conflict with the mission of UCSB or HDAE and must comply with all UCSB and HDAE policies. 
  • HDAE reserves the right to edit all materials to fit presentation requirements. 
  • HDAE may refuse or return for revision any submittals for language, pictures, images, or references to alcohol and other drugs that are unlawful or harmful.
  • ADS REGARDING ELECTIONS
    • HDAE Community Councils, Associated Students, and Campus Departments:
      • Candidates: Ads must come from the respective Elections Committee, a neutral source, and cannot specifically endorse one candidate.
      • Initiatives: Ads must be neutral and can provide basic information on what a yes vote will result in.
    • Local and beyond:
      • Candidates: Ads advertising an event or volunteer opportunity with a candidate are acceptable. Ads must be neutral and provide basic information with no direction on how to vote.
      • Propositions: Ads must be neutral, providing basic information with no direction on how to vote.
    • Ads encouraging people to vote regardless of their affiliation are encouraged and welcome.
  • See the fee table for pricing information. Please note that we cannot broadcast your ad(s) until we have received payment or a departmental recharge account number.
  • Ads should be 1920 x 1080 pixels (a 16x9 aspect ratio). Ads cannot be larger than 30MB.
  • Ad requests must be submitted at least five (5) business days before the requested broadcast date. Ads will be broadcast for no longer than seven (7) days.
  • HDAE will not be responsible for permanently storing any submitted materials beyond their scheduled run dates. All materials will be deleted after the last scheduled run date.
