Guidelines for Submitting Design Requests

  • When providing a due date, please note that Strategic Communications needs AT LEAST three weeks' notice on all projects to ensure on-time delivery. Submit your job request early enough to allow for those three weeks. Note that the due date is the date by which you need to have the printed materials in hand.
  • All copy must be provided by the requester.
  • Budget numbers must be in university long form.
  • All projects above the $1,000 threshold will have to go through the print portal process at University Park. This process can add up to two weeks for deliverables and all information in the following form is required to begin the process. Please contact us if you are unsure about your project meeting the price threshold that requires it to go through the print portal.
Is this an update to an existing piece?
This number is found at the bottom of documents reviewed by Strategic Communications for brand compliance and editorial standards. It is typically in small font and accompanied by legal language. Numbers are four or five digits and begin with either "U.Ed. BKO" or "UBR BKO."
Is this a digital or printed project?
Do you need this professionally printed?
If you choose to have your project professionally printed, your office or department will be responsible for print costs as well as initiating and completing vendor payment(s).
Standard flyers are 8.5" x 11". If you don't know what size document you need, please indicate so in this field.
This date must be a minimum of three weeks from today, excluding weekends. Request dates sooner than three weeks in advance may not be fulfilled.
Publisher documents are not accepted. Please convert to PDF.
Upload requirements

NOTICE: Submission of this form does not finalize your request. The project cannot begin until ALL components of the print piece have been provided. This includes text copy, photos, and quantities.

REMINDER: Strategic Communications needs at least three weeks' notice on all projects to ensure on-time delivery. If you do not provide complete information for the project at the time of the request, Strategic Communications cannot begin working on it, delaying the project. If you need your project expedited, please contact Lisa Baldi at [email protected] to discuss.

If you do not receive a confirmation email for your request within one hour of submission, your request was not successful. If this happens, please resubmit your request.
