Eligibility Criteria and Printing Timeline
Compliance with HCOM Policy #2.22 is required for all poster printing support requests. Students must be in compliance at the time a request is submitted. Requests will undergo an administrative eligibility review upon receipt. Applicants identified as noncompliant will receive one notification and will have two business days to resolve outstanding requirements. Failure to achieve compliance within the specified timeframe will result in cancellation of the poster printing request. Due to Printing Services production timelines, requests that are canceled or delayed because of noncompliance may be ineligible for fulfillment prior to the event, presentation, or conference date. Students may submit a new request once all compliance requirements have been satisfied and required lead times can still be met.
- Pickup requests: Submit at least 7 business days before the poster is needed.
- Shipping requests: Submit at least 12 business days before the poster is needed.
