Digital Billboard Guidelines
A system of options for departments and programs to use their name along with SKC’s.
The primary purpose of the SKC Digital Billboard is to share information about Salish Kootenai College and it’s programs, provide information about SKC timelines and deadlines for students, and announce SKC-hosted events that will take place on campus.

Procedure for requesting a slide on the digital billboard
SKC Departments (programs) are published on a schedule. Each program is featured for 2-weeks. We usually have between 6 and 9 programs rotating through the Digital Billboard at any given time.
If Departments have a program deadline, they can contact the person in charge of the Digital Billboard to request that be added.
There is a Kissflow (SKC News, Events, and Content Submission) that SKC personnel can fill out that describes On-Campus events. While we don’t have an official means to request an event be published in the Kissflow we have, in the past, put events that have been submitted on the Digital Billboard.
In this News, Events, and Content submission it should be specifically requested to be added to the Digital Billboard to be considered.
Currently, the process for outside organizations requesting events that are taking place on the SKC campus be put on the digital billboard is to simply email marketing@skc.edu.
