A detailed price list for all SORC advertising services appears below.
Unless otherwise arranged, payment for SORC advertising services must be made by transfer of funds from a U of M shortcode. Once the shortcode is provided, any full-time staff member with authority from the department may confirm departmental reservations. For student organizations, however, only designated authorized signers have the authority to confirm reservations.
Your contract is your bill for SORC services. Some contracts are completed in person, on the spot; others are completed after you submit an online request for SORC services. You do not need to process any transfers; the Student Life Billing Office does that. You just need to provide a shortcode an authorization.
For most SORC services, the timeline looks like this:
Important: deadlines vary around semester breaks and holidays, including Labor Day. Although we typically include deadlines in the confirmation email that we send you after you reserve space, it is your responsibility to find out the deadline for your submissions.
Please note: deadlines for May through August are different! Please visit the Summer Deadlines page.
The advertising services provided by the Student Organization Resource Center (SORC) are available for use by recognized student organizations and University departments. Unaffiliated businesses and individuals may purchase materials and balloons but may not use SORC advertising services. If you are interested in creating a new student organization, visit Maize Pages.
