Course Materials & Lab Manual Request Deadline: June 24, 2019

The deadline for fall 2019 course pack materials and lab manual requests from faculty to printing services came and went on Monday, June 24, 2019, according to Mary Scroggins, printing services. To date her office has received a total of 13 requests.

All faculty are asked to submit their requests as soon as possible. Due to the high volume of lead-time required for course pack production, materials received after the deadline may not be available in the bookstore for sale at the start of the semester. Printing services produced 5,730 course packs for the 2018-2019 school year, with a total of 627,781 pages.

Course syllabi requests must be received by printing services by August 12, 2019 as well.

New Process for All Purchased Class Materials

The printing and mailing services office and the Pilot House bookstore are now partnering for the purchase of course packs and lab manuals, according to Mary Scroggins, printing and mailing services. This new process goes into effect for spring 2019 orders. Exams, handouts, and other not-for-purchase items will not be affected.

Faculty will still send their requests to printjobs@up.edu. Printing services will submit all materials to be purchased for classes through an outside vendor, Xanedu. The vendor will then create print-ready documents with a barcode embedded so the bookstore can sell them.

To ensure that there are no delays in students receiving class materials, please follow these guidelines:

  • For copyrighted content: Submit your request to printjobs@up.edu six weeks prior to sale date.
  • For non-copyrighted content: Submit your request to printjobs@up.edu four weeks prior to sale date.

Once your order is finalized, Xanedu will send it to printing services for production. Printing services will no longer directly handle any of the copyright clearance authorization or file preparation for course packs and lab manuals. When the order is complete, printing services will deliver it to the bookstore for student purchase.

Please keep in mind that it is critical to order purchased class materials on time. Printing services can no longer just print late orders on the spot.

For any questions about this change, contact Kassie Hansen, printing and mailing services, at x8101, or Linda Gill or Mary Scroggins at x7200.

 

Personal Packages? Please Don’t Send to Campus

Due to the high volume of packages that are received for on-campus students and official University of Portland business, personal packages for faculty, staff, and off-campus students are not to be sent to the University address, according to Mary Scroggins, printing and mailing services. For more information contact the mail center at x7179.
