General Guidelines:

• All PSAs must follow University rules and regulations. For rules and regulations pertaining to student organizations, visit the Center Student Leadership and Involvement at www.lsu.edu/csli.

• All PSAs must contain the name of the responsible recognized student organization or department.
• PSAs may run for up to one week (seven consecutive days) at a time.

• PSAs submitted less than 10 days before desired posting time may not be processed in time.
• In case of more PSA requests than can be accommodated, preference will be given to requests submitted first.

• In most cases, the PSA will run the week before the scheduled event.

• A departmental PSA will be approved if the event is of general importance to LSU students.

Additional Guidelines for Student Organizations:

• Student organizations must register events with the Office of the Dean of Students in order for the event to be included in the screen saver. (This includes fund raising events.)

• PSAs submitted less than 10 days before the event may not be included in the screen saver.

• If organizations are using a corporate sponsor, they must have prior approval from the Office of Finance and Administrative Services or the event cannot be included in the screen saver.

Procedures:

• Pick a desired template from 10 available templates all of which will be displayed on the PSA Webpage at www.lsu.edu/pa/pac_templates/.

• Then download the desired template and format it with the appropriate text, following the instructions provided on the Webpage.

• PSAs are submitted by Student organizations or University Departments via a web form, and the reformatted template will be uploaded and submitted for approval by a pre selected committee.* Submit your request at www.lsu.edu/pa/pac_templates/.

• PSAs are approved by a four person committee including representatives from University Relations, Information Technology Services, Office of the Dean of Students, and the Student Technology Fee Oversight Committee.

• Once approved, University Relations will include approved PSAs in the weekly screen saver.

• The finished screen saver will be deployed to Student Computing Labs every Friday evening

*The templates are designed to make each PSA unique. A sample of an acceptable PSA will be available on the PSA website. There will be a limit of seven PSAs at one time, seven consecutive days running time, and ten templates. If space permits, consecutive runs will be allowed, otherwise there will be a wait. The screen saver will consist of 15-second spots.
