APPROVAL PROCESS

To ensure brand consistency, quality, and timely delivery of university communications, creative assets developed by someone other than the University Graphic Designer must be reviewed and approved before publication or distribution.  This applies to designs for apparel, digital screens, event signage, and any use of university logos. 

Standard Graphic Approval Requests:

Submit graphic to University Graphic Designer at least 5 days in advance of your due date (when you need to get it to the printer, screenprinter, etc.)

• Initial Review within 1-2 business days, and feedback or approval given

• If revisions are needed, final approval will typically be given within 1 business day of revision submission. 
  

Rush Requests:

Rush requests should only be submitted for truly “last-minute” or unforeseen events.  Rush requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and prioritized based on their university-wide impact.  They also may experience delayed approval if existing deadlines take precedence.  Failure to meet established submission timelines does not obligate the University Graphic Designer to provide expedited review or approval.

What to Include when Submitting Designs for Approval:

To avoid delays, submissions should be submitted via email and should include:

• Final design files (PNG, PDF, etc)

• Intended use (shirt, flyer, etc)

• Event date or publication date

Incomplete submissions may result in an extended approval timeline.
