Eligibility

Graphics’ services are available to faculty and staff members of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. See also “Service Priorities” section below. Students, including graduate students, as well as clients not employed by the University of Hawaiʻi or by the UH Board of Regents are not eligible for Graphics services.


Limitations on Services

Since Graphics is unable to charge back for materials consumed or other costs incurred in providing services to clients, Graphics reserves the right to establish limits on the amount as well as the complexity of work that can be performed for an individual client. This policy will be applied to ensure equitable access by all OFDAS clients. Additional factors may also limit services.


Purchases for Outside Services/Buyouts

All buyouts (services purchased from off-campus vendors), such as printing, image setting, film processing, mounting, etc., will be the client’s responsibility, i.e., the client’s department must issue payment directly to the vendor. Graphics will assist in writing specifications, soliciting prices, and act as liaison between vendor and client.

Service Priorities

Services will be provided according to the following priorities:

  1. Materials produced primarily for direct instructional use with students in a classroom or laboratory setting; materials produced for OFDAS programs and events.
  2. Materials produced primarily for other purposes but will also be used for direct instructional use with students in a classroom or laboratory setting.
  3. Materials produced for UHM related business but not used for instruction.

Multiple Copies of Materials

OFDAS Graphics will provide camera ready originals and/or electronic files, and the client is responsible for any duplication needs. Graphics will not produce multiple copies of graphic materials.

Clients in need of small-batch printing or duplication services may inquire with Campus Center Graphics.
