CSU Systemwide Time, Place, and Manner Policy

Who does this affect?

This interim systemwide policy fulfills a new requirement enacted by the California Legislature and is in effect immediately for all students and non-represented employees. 

The University’s existing campus Time, Place, and Manner policy will continue to apply to represented employees until bargaining is complete for the interim Time, Place, and Manner policy.

Chancellor's Directive on Prohibited Activities
The California State University (CSU) is committed to free expression as an essential component of its educational mission. To support and achieve that mission, the CSU must maintain an environment where its work can be conducted without disruption, in accordance with the highest standards of institutional integrity, and with recognition of the rights, privileges and responsibilities of university community members and members of the public.
The CSU and its universities have therefore established standards that determine the “time, place and manner” in which activities may be conducted on university property. These regulations ensure that those who participate in lawful expressive activities are protected and do not disrupt university operations or infringe on the rights of others. 
Cal Poly Humboldt and most CSU campuses have had long standing TPM policies in place. However, the CSU’s new policy, announced in August 2024, provides a consistent framework for implementation and enforcement of TPM across the CSU.
