Estimated Turnaround

Bulletin & Email Blast

Bulletin is typically finalized on Fridays. Email blasts are typically sent Wednesday evenings.. We recommend submitting 1–2 weeks in advance.

Website Updates & SMS

Website changes are posted within 2–3 business days of approval. SMS messages are sent within 48 hours once approved.

A/V & Flyer Reviews

A/V should be submitted as early as possible, ideally 1-2 weeks prior to the event. Flyer reviews are completed within 3-5 business days (1-2 days for urgent requests).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit multiple PDFs or images?

Absolutely. Our forms let you attach multiple files. If your files are very large, consider linking to a shared drive or cloud service.

What's the difference between flyer review and an announcement?

Flyer review is for feedback on your existing design before finalizing it, while an announcement is submitting content for our team to create and publish in our bulletin, email, and screens.

How far in advance should I request A/V and livestreaming?

Please submit A/V requests at least 2 weeks before your event. Livestreaming requires additional setup and planning, so earlier notice is always appreciated.

Do I need to sign in to use these forms?

No sign-in required. The forms are public for easy submission. Only our communications staff needs to sign in to access the admin dashboard.
