Faculty, as you plan your Spring Term projects, please be aware that the University Library has extremely limited capacity for printing academic posters. We anticipate that poster printing will be moved to another unit after this academic year, which further limits our ability to support widespread student poster sessions.
We strongly encourage you to consider alternative project formats that meet your learning goals and do not require large-format printing. For ideas on meaningful, creative alternatives to traditional final projects, please refer to this Padlet: 2026 Spring Spotlight Project Guide.
If, after careful consideration, you determine that poster printing is the only viable option for a class assignment presented at an on-campus student session, please adhere strictly to the following guidelines:
Essential Guidelines & Strict Limits
Faculty Pre-Approval Required: Faculty must contact Elizabeth Teaff at least three weeks in advance of printing requests. Printing is scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and availability is extremely limited.
Posters Due: The deadline for submitting posters for Spring Spotlight is 6 PM on 5/17.
Strict Limit: We can only print one poster per student (or student group) per course.
Final Prints Only: Only final versions will be printed, rough drafts will not be accepted.
Submission Format: Posters must be submitted as PDFs and sized at 30×42 inches. Upload submissions via the BOX link and include the student’s first and last name in the file name.
