All services provided by the Office of Communications are free of charge. Photography, pre-press, printing, mailing costs, and postage, however, are paid for by the department ordering the publication.
Work done through Central Services (printing, mailing, and postage) is billed by transfer of university funds, using the requesting department's account number. Work done by off-campus printers and mailing houses is invoiced directly or, if arranged by publications staff, invoiced to Communications, which will process the payment using the appropriate department code.
In all cases, the client will be required to provide a department or program account number on the Job Initiation Request Form. If a special project line exists in the department or program budget, the project code should be noted as well.
Publications-related expenditures will appear on the monthly budget sheets issued by the Business Office.
