Note: Our office will make every effort to accommodate rush jobs that come in with less time given than the requirements below, provided we have the capacity to do so without impacting any other jobs in progress. In some cases, however, when we cannot accommodate due to an already heavy workload, you may be asked to consider other options to complete your project.
Printing
Printing Services: Ashland University's Printing Services requires at least 24-48 hours for copy jobs and five days for non-copy/press jobs from the date they receive the project. Both may vary based on the jobs complexity. E-mail printau@ashland.edu with specific questions regarding your project.
Commerical Printing: Printing generally takes 10 business days (two weeks) from the date the project is sent to the vendor.
