Now’s The Time
Now is the time to submit orders for letterhead, envelopes, and forms for the upcoming academic year, according to Bridget Bimrose, marketing and communications. This allows the publication team to schedule production throughout the summer. Please estimate usage for the next academic year and order accordingly. Letterhead is available by the ream (500 sheets) or by the case (4,000 sheets). Envelopes are available by the box (500) or by the case (2,500). When ordering, include a sample of each item and indicate if any changes are necessary.
Staff and faculty who need to order new or replacement business cards can order them through printjobs@up.edu. In the subject line type “business cards.” Orders can be as little as 250, 500 or 1,000. Please allow five business from the day they are approved to receive your order. For more information, contact Bimrose at 8370 or bimrose@up.edu.
Course Packs Due
All faculty and instructors must turn in their course pack materials for summer session to the printing services office as soon as possible, according to Kassie Hansen, printing services. Lead time is needed so printing services staff can obtain copyright permissions and organize the packs for production before the start of the summer 2013 semester. In addition, faculty need to have their course packs for fall session turned in to printing services no later than the end of June to obtain copyright clearance. Some copyright requests take up to six weeks to obtain; please keep this in mind so staff are better able to serve faculty needs prior to the start of school. For more information contact Hansen at 7200 or hansenk@up.edu.
