What if I find a less expensive or faster print option with a print vendor that is not in the program or online; can I use other options for printing?

Brown policy prohibits using non-approved print vendors unless the print job costs less than $3,000. If a print job costs less than $3,000, you can use a print vendor outside of the External Print Vendor Program. If the print job meets one or more of the following criteria and costs more than $3,000 to produce it must be produced by an approved vendor: 1) a print format is necessary to meet compliance requirements, accessibility standards, health and safety protocols, and/or any other regulatory requirement that, if not met, would put the University at legal risk; 2) a digital-only approach would result in a diminished user experience; and/or 3) a digital-only approach would result in the inability to reach certain audience segments and may adversely affect participation rates, fundraising goals, and/or general awareness of University programs.
