Check with your department chair or office associate for class material guidelines if you are not purchasing a textbook from a publisher for sale to students in the Campus Store.

If you have Campus Store materials for duplication that will be sold to the students, when creating the front cover for your material, please include “Hagerstown Community College,” an HCC logo, and the date your material was last revised.

ALL FACULTY must complete a Production Requisition with the following information:

  1. Contact Name, Department, Telephone Extension, Project Name, Date Submitted, Date Wanted (actual date needed or semester to be used), Number of Originals (count number of pages, printing on front and back of a page counts as two originals), and Number of Copies Requested (leave this area blank). The Campus Store manager will determine quantity. The Campus Store manager’s goal is to sell ALL materials placed in the Campus Store for a semester. Under Special Instructions please specify number of copies requested for Divisions (if needed).
  2. Production Information - Check ALL boxes necessary for completing your project.
