Printing Approval

Please send any project(s) related to recruiting or external marketing (off-campus/public facing) to morgan.kuethe@usu.edu for final approval before printing.

Here is a helpful guide for sending your products to the printer. See below for paper choices, who to contact, and what information to include. Any specific questions can be sent directly to PDP and TSC copy center. Their helpful and friendly staff can walk you through any questions you may have.
