Student Engagement Digital Sign Request

Follow these instructions to post your sign: 

• Contact Information:
  Start by filling out your name, email and phone number. Add any comments if you have them. These are only for the approvers, they will not show up on the sign. 
  
  
• Playtime Info:
  Start Date: Select from the calendar the date and time you want your sign to display. The system will only allow you to display your sign for a duration of two weeks. If you would like your sign up longer you will have to re-submit.
  
  For example, if your event is on October 24, select October 10 as your start date.
  
  End date: Select the time and date you would like the sign removed. We recommend scheduling the sign to end one hour before your event starts to avoid having outdated information on our campus monitors.

  Option 1: OCC Template:
  If you do not have a sign created you will select this option.
  
  If you would like your sign to display on all campuses, select “All Campus Ad”
  
  If you only want one campus, select just that one, for example, “Auburn Hills Campus  Ad.”

  Remember that the signs are on a 12-15 second rotation so keep the information brief so that people can consume the information before the screen changes.
  
  Option 2: Pre-made Digital Sign
