Lead Time Guide

When you’re requesting a project via the Marketing & Communications Request form, please keep in mind the following general suggestion lead times so that we can accurately prioritize and schedule your project requests.

Web Updates: 1-3 days

Web updates, such as correcting a typo, adding new content, changing a picture, or editing the content of one page can happen as quickly as that same day or within 2-3 days depending on ongoing projects.

Event Creation and Promotion: 2-4 weeks

Depending on the scope of your event, this can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Events without a registration require a 2-week lead time. Events with a registration require 4 weeks.

Print Project Requests: 6 weeks

Print projects, from start to finish, take at least 6 weeks to complete: from request to the finished product delivered to you. The timeline includes 2 weeks for strategy, creation, design, and feedback, 2 weeks for budget approval processes, and 2 weeks for proofing, printing, and delivery to Hinds Hall.

Print/Mailing requests: 2 months

Print and mailing requests typically include design, proofing, and printing - as well as collecting mailing lists and then mailing.

Make your request and then we can schedule a meeting to go over your project.
