Authorization for Off-Campus Printing

If there is a circumstance that requires an off-campus vendor for a print or copy job using state funds, you will need to obtain an authorization for off-campus printing. This form is available at University Printing Services. Once the form is filled out by the department and signed by the University Printing Services supervisor, you can proceed with the contracting process to obtain off-campus printing or copying services.

Cash Orders

Faculty, staff and students can use University Printing Services for personal copy needs for the same price as campus departments. This includes all of our services—Copy Center and Offset Printing.

Charge Authorization Forms (CAFs)

The University Printing Services Charge Authorization Form (CAF) is used for both offset printing and copy service work requests. The CAF is designed for two purposes: the first function is as a work request; the second function is as a billing form. The information on the upper half of the form is generally the billing information and will show up on your accounting reports. Remember to include a billing account and an authorizing signature. The lower half of the form is the area for job specifications. Please include as much information possible regarding your job on the CAF. The more thoroughly this form is completed, the sooner we can get to work on your project. Once you have completed the CAF, keep the pink copy. This will help you track the job while it is in progress and serve as a "tickler" that you have an open job request. When the job is completed, you will receive the yellow copy as proof of completion. Tip: Always use your department's official university abbreviation on your CAF form. Check here for your abbreviation.

Pricing

University Printing Services prices are regulated and approved by the Fiscal Administration Committee. This committee reviews the cost of providing printing services and estabishes rates to cover those costs.

Scratch Pads

If you have scrap paper with copy on only one side, you can bring it in (or have it picked up) to Printing Services and we will create free scratch pads for the campus. Remember, Reduce Re-Use, then Recycle!
