Dear students,
The Honors College is offering FREE POSTER PRINTING to any Honors College student planning to present their capstone project this semester at the Honors College Research Conference (Impact Day) that will be held on November 20, 2017 in Student Center East.
The deadline for uploading the poster is Friday, November 10th at noon. The posters will be available at the Honors College for pick up on Thursday November 16 after 1:00 PM.
All posters will need to be 48"W x 36"H (landscape format) and printed on matte paper (for example, do not select a tall or square one). We recommend that you visit the Makesigns.com site immediately and check out their free scientific poster templates under the “scientific research posters” tab and then the “free powerpoint templates” box. You can select any style that you like as long as it allows you to make a poster that is 36” X 48” in a landscape format.
Once you have downloaded your template and finished your poster, use the following link to go to the landing site to upload your poster for printing.

Step by step directions are below. Please contact Honors College Associate Dean, Dr. Crystal Patil (cpatil@uic.edu) with any additional questions.
DIRECTIONS FOR UPLOADING YOUR POSTER FOR PRINTING:
- Enter the landing site through this link https://www.makesigns.com/conference/5019/uic-honors-college-research-conference-impact-day
- Press the red “order my 36” X 48” poster” button
- Upload your poster, either by dragging and dropping the file (should be a .ppt) or by clicking the red button to upload it from your computer and then press “upload file”
- Select – Size 36” X 48”; Media – Standard (heavyweight matte paper); quantity -1; with no special printing instructions, then press “add to cart” (the site is set to accept only this format. I don’t know what will happen if you try to do something else, but let’s not find out)
- Press “checkout now” on the right side under the price information
- Check out as a “guest” using your UIC email address (if you don’t use your UIC email, you’ll be rejected when we approve the orders because we won’t recognize you as one of our students)
- Your poster will already be identified as part of a group order, so enter the password we’ve given you in the “password for order group” box and press “continue to Order Details”
- Ignore the top part because we will pick up the order; give them your name and contact phone number in case there is a problem with your poster (sometimes images are fuzzy, etc); under “anything else we should know” you can check any box EXCEPT the tax exempt number box. Then press “continue to payment”
- How would you like to pay? Select “fax/email a purchase order.” (We have already given them a purchase order number and the University tax exempt code).
- You are done.
