  Art Supplies

The following art materials are free for student organizations to use in the Student Organization Center:

• butcher paper
• paint and brushes
• markers, crayons, colored pencils
• rulers

  Poster Printer

Student organizations can request to print their digitally designed posters at the Student Organization Center.

• The poster printer paper is 36-inches wide and 48-inches long.
• Make sure the file is scaled appropriately. Stretching an image may result in blurred images, and refunds will not be given for this reason.

To have your poster printed:

• Email the file as a .pdf to soc@austin.utexas.edu.
• Cost: $12.00, which must be paid upon pickup. The Student Organization Center accepts payments in check, cash (exact change) or online at TXShop.

Your organization will be notified that your poster is ready for pick-up by email.

  Storage Space and Rates

Student organizations may lease storage space in the Student Organization Center. The locker lease begins August 19, 2024 – August 18, 2025 for the upcoming academic year. If the organization seeks to lease a locker mid semester, the cost amounts will be prorated. Locker renewals are typically facilitated in early April. The Student Organization Center storage spaces are accessible during Student Organization Center business hours. Apply online for Student Organization Center storage space.

  Online Payments

Make payments online at the Office of the Dean of Students TXShop page.

  Centralized Application Drop-Off

This service can reduce the stress of collecting applications and managing deadlines. The Student Organization Center cannot accept any money that may accompany an application.
