Printing Your Academic Conference Posters

This service does not include class projects or posters for course assignments.

Beginning November 1, 2026, University Libraries will require all submitters to use one of the Clearinghouse-approved poster templates listed below. Posters that do not use an approved template will require departmental funding and approval.

Requirements

Allow 5 business days for printing.
Review our Poster Design and Printing Guide before submitting.
Use one of the conference poster templates and save as PDF.
Only PDF files are accepted. PowerPoint and other formats will not be printed.
Once submitted via the form below, your poster will be reviewed by the Clearinghouse.
Faculty submitting multiple posters for students should bundle requests.
