Chalking

Registered student organizations, departments, tenants, or individual students of the USF Community may chalk the sidewalks around the Marshall Student Center.

This policy governs the grounds around the Marshall Student Center. The MSC does not have the authority to grant approval for other sidewalks on campus.
