Request LCD Advertising

The LCD screens managed by the UC Davis Division of Student Affairs provide a means to reach students who utilize campus facilities. The screens serve as both a directory for event and room reservation information, as well as vehicles to promote student-focused programs, services and events.

Currently, only campus departments and registered student organizations will be provided access to the LCD displays. Priority is given in the following order:

  • Student Affairs departments and programs
  • Other campus departments, units and programs
  • Registered Student Organizations (For information about registering a group, please visit the Center for Student Involvement website.)

Within that order, promotions are shown on a first-come, first-served basis.
