    • One reservation will equal one poster. If you have multiple poster presentations, you will need multiple appointments. Only one person from a group will have an appointment to print.
    • Make sure to offer a wide range of times and days that work with your schedule. You will have your appointment scheduled quickly if the times are available.
    • Do not wait to make your appointments.We are scheduling on a first-come, first-served basis. Last minute requests cannot be accommodated and time slots will not be available.
  • Going to Print Your Poster

    Come to the Technology Learning Center, Room 212 of Boatwright Library, and let the TLC Consultant at the main desk know you have a poster appointment. 

    • You must be on time with your poster completed and ready to print. If you are more than 5 minutes late, you will forfeit your appointment.
    • Your poster must be sized to the final printing size. A typical poster size is 34 by 56 inches. Your poster must be 58 inches or less in one direction to minimize waste.

    • We will not be responsible for any poster left behind in the TLC.
  • Taking Your Poster to the Symposium

    Your poster is not water-resistant. Moisture and oils from your hands or rain will wash away the ink, so handle your poster carefully. Wrap the poster in a clean garbage bag if the weather forecast is calling for rain.
