Policy
I. Scope
TBR Guideline G-140 is adopted as if written at length to this policy.
All requests for printing must be accompanied by an online Printing Services Request form (PSR). The initiator of the printing request will have the responsibility for ensuring that sufficient and appropriate funds are available to cover the costs. All printing should be completed on campus through the Printing Services Department; any exceptions must be approved by the coordinator of Printing Services.
II. Academic Support Printing Services
Instructional materials (handouts, tests, etc.) are to be completed on a “first come, first served” basis. Classroom handouts are printed front to back, and tests/exams are printed on single sheets (fronts only) unless otherwise indicated in the “Other Information” section of the Printing Services Work Order form. All test/exam materials are to be delivered to Printing Services by Walters State staff only (e.g., secretaries, faculty, etc.). By signature on the Printing Services Work Order form, the dean will ensure that copyrighted materials are being used in accordance with the guidelines in 08:03:01 .
III. Administrative Support Printing Services
Approximately five to ten working days are necessary for repeat orders of business forms, letterhead, envelopes, etc. Jobs that require typesetting and design will be sent to the Office of Communications and Marketing for preparation and should be given approximately two weeks for completion. Such jobs must be approved by the coordinator of Printing Services.

A number will be assigned to all publications indicating the institution responsible, document control number, the account charged, the date of origination or last revision, and the Wlaters State logo. All external publications will contain the non-discrimination policy, the Walters State logo and the logo for Tennessee Community Colleges.
All printed materials designed for distribution off campus (except for distribution to specific individual constituencies such as Foundation trustees, program advisory committees, professional colleagues, etc.) is subject to review by the vice president for Strategic Communications & Effectiveness for ensuring the consistency and quality of the institutional image and content in print.
All new and revised publications must be approved and authorized by the proper authorities as indicated on the Printing Services Work Order form including the purpose of and the distribution for the document.
