Electronic/Event Signage Policy

The EIU digital sign on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Fourth Street is an informational platform aimed at communicating what’s happening on our campus. Information shared on the digital sign keeps the public informed about important university events, resources, and services. The digital sign is part of our campus-wide emergency alert program. In case of emergency, alert messages will take precedence over scheduled content.
