All faculty and instructors must turn in their course pack materials for fall semester to the printing services office by July 31, according to Mary Scroggins, printing services. The lead time is needed so printing services staff can obtain copyright permissions and organize the packs for production before the start of the fall 2015 semester. Some copyright requests take up to six weeks to obtain—please keep this in mind so staff are better able to serve everyone’s needs prior to the start of school.
