Submit Your Order

Use this online order form and upload a PDF file. The CSU Bookstore reviews the request and determines the initial print quantity while also providing the back cover barcode and sales information.

Reprint Options

We retain files for four years. Choose the appropriate option on the order form and note the last semester print date.

Copyright Clearance

If your packet contains copyrighted material, select “Yes” on the form and provide bibliographic details. We will coordinate with the Copyright Clearance Center to secure reprint permissions and pay necessary royalties.

Deadlines

Order at least 3 weeks before classes start (5 weeks if copyright clearance is required). Orders submitted after those dates may not be available at the bookstore by the first day of class, which could delay student access to required materials.

Depending on staffing, we run both an AM delivery route and a PM delivery route.  Your order will be delivered on one of these routes depending on when it completes by.

Deadlines

Spring Semester: To help us ensure your course materials are printed and on shelves for the Spring semester beginning January 20, 2026, please aim to submit orders by December 31, 2025. While we will do our best, materials received after this date may not be ready for the first day of classes.

Note:  Use the arrows in the calendar date picker to advance the month if you don't see accessible dates.  You will not be able to choose a date that is before our Lead Time date.

Your job will be processed in the order it is received and our lead times are accurate.  Requested completion date is not a guarantee.  Orders are reviewed before production commences. 

This section asks for information about your print job.  Everything from type, to paper, ink color to number of sides.  This is how we get the information on exactly how you want your document printed. 

Because we work with a variety of experience levels with printing, we ask these details to ensure your job comes out just the way you want it.
