Proofreading Responsibilities

  • You will have ample opportunity to proofread your publication before it goes to the printer. The Publications team and the client are responsible for proofreading copy in a brochure to ensure accuracy.
  • Each client is responsible for the accuracy of any copy supplied to the Publications staff for a project.
  • Each client must provide an “OK to print” on his/her publication before it is printed. Please note: Changes made after final approval is given may result in additional charges and cause delays to production timelines.

Deadlines

  • Deadlines for each publication are set by the Publications team in consultation with their clients. Missed deadlines will result in delays or additional costs.
