  • Here are directions for implementing sentence case in APA Style in these two contexts:

    1. Capitalize the first word of the title/heading and of any subtitle/subheading;

    2. Capitalize any proper nouns and certain other types of words; and

    3. Use lowercase for everything else.

OPTION ONE: PCL COPY SERVICES

** LIBRARY POSTER SHOP PERMANENTLY CLOSED SPRING 2024 **

You can request large format poster printing from the Library Copier Services in the Perry-Castañeda Library (1F). The PCL can print your poster within 1-2 business days.

Speak to your faculty advisor/WNCG Staff beforehand to get an account number in order to pay for the print.

OPTION TWO: UT DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS

UT Document Solutions is the University Campus Services print/copy vendor. You can order a poster print by emailing your file to Document Solutions and picking it up at 

Speak to your faculty advisor/WNCG Staff prior to payment to get an account number in order to pay for the print.

Turnaround time depends on the project - Document Solutions will let you know if your requested due date can be met. Please plan in advance to coordinate with Document Solutions as soon as possible to ensure your poster can be printed by your due date.

OPTION THREE: PAY OUT OF POCKET (ONLY IF PART OF TRAVEL)*

Please note: DISCUSS THIS WITH WNCG STAFF PRIOR TO making these arrangements. This expense is NOT REIMBURSABLE, unless the poster printing is directly related to an upcoming business trip for which you have an approved RTA on file! If that’s the case, please still speak with WNCG staff first.

This should be your very last option! For all other poster-printing needs, please use either ECE-IT or PCL Copy Services as instructed above.

Many printing services such as FedEx offer large-format printing.

• If you use a vendor in Texas to print your poster, you cannot get Texas sales tax reimbursed.

Again, unless it’s part of an approved business trip, you WILL NOT be reimbursed for paying for poster printing out of pocket! Please discuss with WNCG Staff first!
