ABOUT UC SANTA CRUZ

UC Santa Cruz is a public university like no other in California, combining the experience of a small, liberal arts college with the depth and rigor of a major research university. It's known as an unconventional place where innovation and experimentation is part of the campus's DNA. That playful, bold spirit still thrives today, all on a campus renowned as among the most beautiful in the world.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

The UCSC Copy Center and its Professor Publishing Services provides copying and printing services to academic units, faculty, staff, students and other campus customers, including exams and other academic course handouts, flyers and forms.

Due to the fluctuations in demand for these items, the UCSC Copy Center is able to produce other quick-copy requests, such as envelopes, business cards, and campus stationery. Additionally the UCSC Copy Center produces large-format output, mailings, and manages the outsourcing of customer jobs we cannot product in house.
