• COE student societies events (limited to one or two posters per event)
• Senior capstone design course special events
• Printing specifically related to general coursework is not allowed through the free college service.

When a poster is submitted for printing, a faculty contact name must be provided.

Printing is available in widths of 24 inches, 36 inches or 42 inches and variable length.
