Print jobs are printed off-campus by local vendors.

Please plan accordingly. In the event vendors are experiencing heavy project loads it may take up to three weeks for the completion of your requests.

Requests received after 3:00 p.m. on weekends or holidays will not be processed until the next working business day.

Printing is a collaborative process between Marketing and Communications (MarCom) and the Purchasing Department. For design related inquiries contact MarCom at creativeservices@missouriwestern.edu. For pricing, vendors and delivery inquiries contact purchase@missouriwestern.edu.
