Hours of Operation

Service Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Submission of Requests

The Copy Center only accepts an original IDT (Intradepartmental Transfer) with a Copy Center Request Form or a Poster Request Form. The Cougar Card Request Form or the Poster Request Form can be submitted on their own if paying with a Cougar Card.

Electronic File Submission

You can send your electronic files as PDFs to copycenter@cofc.edu for submission of your printing/copying requests.

Proofs

A proof is a single sample of your copy request for color and layout purposes only. The Copy Center is not responsible for errors in grammar, spelling or content. The requestor must ensure that the document is accurate and correct prior to submission for duplication.

Please submit a copy request and indicate that you need a proof. Proofs follow the same submission guidelines and timeframes as regular copy request submissions.

2-Sided Copying

To conserve resources, the Copy Center produces all materials front-to-back unless otherwise specified.

Copy Request Pick-ups

You will be contacted via phone or via email when your copy request is ready for pick-up. The Copy Center is open during service hours Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Delivery

The Copy Center does not deliver.

Design Services

The Copy Center does not offer design services. If you have questions regarding the layout of your document, including booklets, postcards, posters, etc., please check the Help menu and templates of whichever program you are using, such as Adobe, MS Publisher, MS Word or Canva. You may also find tips on the manufacturers’ websites, such as Adobe and Microsoft.
