Turnaround Times

Please drop off your request at least 24 hours before you need it. Our offices serve copy requests for MU’s Main Campus and Ballston Center. Keep in mind workloads vary throughout the year. So, on occasion, it may take longer than 24 hours to complete a job, because of our workload or the complexity of your request (i.e., hand placement copying, rare paper requests, etc.) We ask that you give us a week’s notice for large requests. Please call ext. 1493 with any questions you may have.

Important Update to Our Copy Center Submission Protocols
To ensure efficient processing of print jobs at the Main Campus Copy Center, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. File Preparation: Before submitting your print request, ensure that your files are in one of the following acceptable formats: Microsoft Office, JPEG, or PDF. Convert your files to PDF whenever possible to facilitate a smoother printing process.
2. Submission Readiness: Your files must be ready for print. We are unable to make formatting adjustments or edits.
3. Timeliness: Due to a recent increase in print requests, we kindly ask that you submit your jobs well in advance. Last-minute requests cannot be accommodated. Planning ahead will help us serve you better and ensure the timely completion of all print jobs.
4. Use of Resources: For simple printing tasks, please use the Canon printers located across campus. The Copy Center should be reserved for larger or more complex print jobs to avoid congestion and delays.

Please fill out a Copy Request Form for students at the Main Campus Copy Center along with your original document(s), flash drive, or CD. Please be aware of the copyright notices below in which some submitted items may require you to sign a copyright release form.

Acceptable File Formats

We can print files using Microsoft Office, jpegs, or PDF file formats. Most software today will allow you to convert files to  PDFs. Please do this before submitting your request to us.
