Publication Procedures
The Office of Communications at 无码专区 University is eager to work with you on your publication needs. Since your project will be placed on a production schedule with dozens of other projects, we encourage you to meet with us early in your planning process. Our goal is to provide you with top-quality productions in a timely manner.
The timeline below estimates the average length of time for production of a typical brochure, booklet, newsletter, logo or poster. Lengthy or complex projects will take longer. A postcard or simple flyer may take less time.
- Start the process by going to okcu.edu/jobrequest and completing the project request form.
- Determine the content of your publication. You are the expert on the subject of your publication. We depend on you to provide us with the 鈥渞aw material鈥� or rough draft. The text should be emailed to your contact person in the Office of Communications as an attachment in Microsoft Word and should not be formatted (no tabs, tables, varying type face, etc.). All text should be left-margin justified. A writer will help refine and edit the text. The official style guide for university publications is The Chicago Manual of Style. Press releases are written in Associated Press style. Remember to get your text approved by anyone in your department who needs to review it prior to submitting it to the Office of Communications.
Plan on the following timeline once you have emailed your complete text and any photos:
- One week for editing
- Three weeks for designing
- Two weeks for proofing, revising, final proofing, pre-press
NOTE: CONTINUED REVISIONS REQUIRING MORE THAN THREE PROOFS MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN THE DELIVERY DATE
- Two weeks for printing, binding
- One week for mailing (if required)
We look forward to working with you
