As a student centered, discovery driven and globally engaged R2 research unit, the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) understands the importance of learning to present knowledge and research both locally and at regional, national and international at conferences and symposiums by traditionally offering poster printing services to our students at no cost. These services are only available for faculty, students, and staff who will be presenting their poster at a conference or symposium and are NOT intended for projects solely associated with student coursework. The guidelines to have your poster printed by department/college staff are listed below.

We ask that posters for CSM students go through their PI, so they can be checked for content errors, correct size dimensions, , spelling/grammar, etc... and receive approval. Receiving PI approval and having a second pair of eyes look over the posters before printing has helped cut down on reprints/waste of time and material due to errors. The poster printing is ONLY available to faculty and staff in the college.

CSM offers these services as a convenience to our Faculty and students, but it should be noted that we are not a full service print shop and do not guarantee the availability of materials or staff resources on demand. CSM requires advanced notice of at least 3 full business days based on regular 8 am - 5 pm business hours prior to due date (business days do not include Saturday or Sunday, or outside regular business hours).

Templates:

• 36" x 48" vertical or horizontal (pptx)
• 24" x 36" vertical or horizontal (pptx)
• 36" x 36" (pptx)

Version 2:

• 36" x 48" vertical or horizontal (pptx)
• 24" x 36" vertical or horizontal (pptx)
• 36" x 36" (pptx)

Recommendations:

• Avoid using a color/gradient background.
• Avoid big blocks of small text.
• Use a non-serif font (Arial) for titles/headings. Use serif font (Times) for body text. Serif fonts are much easier on the eyes at smaller sizes.
• Complete the entire poster on a single platform. Switching between PC to Mac or Mac to PC invites disaster, sometimes in the form of lost image files, gibberish text or inoperable corrupt files.
• Use the programs "insert" or "place" options to insert images or graphics (copying and pasting images/graphics could result in no image or graphic).

Other printing resources on campus:

There are a couple of printers capable of poster printing for little or no change on campus (listed below), as well as several commercial print shops in ʳɫÊÓƵ who can provide these services too (at a cost).
