Timeline determined once request is received.


The creative design and distribution of communications involve a lot of moving parts. Please keep in mind that creative services (e.g. – graphic design, videography, photography, etc.) and marketing / communication strategies require a minimum of six to eight weeks for each project, depending on scope and the time of year. This time does not include printing and mailing. Please allow an additional 10 business days to account for any print and mailing needs.    

Production of materials will not start until ALL content is received.

Project Review

Please keep in mind that these timelines are tentative. Projects are considered in the context of college priorities, timing, and capacity of the CSBS Marketing & Communications team. We will do our best service all requests, but please be aware that at certain times throughout the year we can’t take on all requests.
