The Service Bureau accepts orders for all faculty and staff for both the School and Museum. These can be personal, class or departmental projects.
If orders are being charged to a department, an 3-digit budget code number is required in order for the job to be processed. The appropriate account number can be obtained from your departments Admin Director.
Price Quotes + Budget
All pricing or quotes can be done by using the Digital Storefront to calculate the cost of your order. We are happy to work with you or your department to stay within your budget and can offer more affordable options if necessary. Sign for a 10 Minute Consultation to discuss or send us a quick email to get the dialogue started.
Special Projects
We do our best to meet your special print and paper requests. Please contact us well in advance so we have time to work out the logistics of your project or paper needs.
Turnaround Times
Your print job will be completed in the order it was received. The standard turnaround time for the laser printers is 1 full business day. The standard turnaround time for the inkjet printers is 3 full business days. There are no “Rush” options currently for laser prints.
Please be aware that during midterms and finals, turnaround times can increase up to 2-3 business days. It is likely that your department request will be complete before this time but do allow for plenty of time when planning larger print projects.
You will be notified via your DSF auto email when your job has been completed.
Sponsored Studios
For faculty teaching a sponsored project course, or any other course that will require large-scale printing, please contact us within the first few weeks of the semester with information on what type and how much printing is needed to complete the project and any major due dates.
In some cases it may be necessary to arrange set up a students with a print budget or work out bulk payment using a department card. Please reach out at the beginning of your course as to allow plenty of time to arrange production schedules and payment options.
Personal Projects
Faculty & staff are welcome to print personal projects in the Service Bureau. We do reserve the right to extend the turnaround time for staff and faculty personal print jobs in order to complete the student and/or department workload.
