Choose publication date(s)
The Tech publishes on Tuesdays and Fridays during the semester. Please check our publication schedule for exact dates. Advertising requests must be received at least three business days prior to first desired publication date.

Determine appropriate rate and size of ad
Rates depend on type of advertiser. Ad sizes may be any even number of inches wide (up to 10 inches) and a whole number of inches tall (up to 16 inches). Please check our rates page for your most appropriate rate and sample sizes.

Create ad in appropriate file format
The Tech prefers PDF files, but also accepts TIFF, PNG, or EPS files. JPGs, PowerPoint and Word files are not accepted. Our rates pages details submission specifications.

Determine if you want color or guaranteed placement
The Tech offers spot color or full color at an additional cost. We can also guarantee your ad on a specific page or a specific spot on a page at an additional cost. Please check our rates page for the corresponding fees.

Calculate total ad cost
The total cost is calculated by taking the area of the ad in square-inches, dividing by two to yield column-inches, and multiplying by the rate. When applicable, add additional cost for color, guaranteed placement, or any other fees.
