Welcome to the online bus sign request.

SORC clerks are available to assist you during the times listed to the right. Just call 734-764-0436 or AIM "sorcclerk" during these times if you have any troubles with this form, or general questions about the bus sign advertising service. A few important things to note:

• You will need to submit a separate request for each reservation. If there are multiple start dates or multiple sets of 30 signs, each of these is considered a separate, unique order. If you want us to put up 60 signs, even if they are simply duplicates of the same ad, you will need to complete this form twice.

• If you wish for your signs to be used multiple times throughout the semester, you will have to do some additional legwork. SORC does not automatically keep the signs and set them aside for you. Please visit the Bus Signs page of this website to learn more about multiple reservations for the same advertisement.

• Payment must be made by transfer of funds.

• Each organization may have no more than two sets of bus signs per week.

• For student organizations, there will be an additional step; SORC clerks will forward the request to the person listed as the authorized signer. That person will need to reply to SORC's email from their umich.edu e-mail account to authorize the transfer of funds from the SOAS account number provided.

• The space rental cost of bus signs is:

• Online reservation requests for the winter semester will begin on December 1 at midnight.

Start Date, Take-down Date, and Size

OPTION 1: Sunday placement

Note: if a week is full, you can't have space that week, even if your reservation begins earlier. If, for example, you want three weeks prior to a full date, and then two weeks after a full date, you will need to place two separate reservations and submit two sets of signs (even if they're the exact same content). SORC is not able to retrieve all bus signs for later placement; logistically, this just doesn't work.
