Marketing and Communications is your branding partner for on-brand, compliant, cost-effective merchandise.

What’s New

As of August 16, 2026, the College will have an updated list of contracted promotional item suppliers, giving departments more flexibility and choice when purchasing branded merchandise.

When purchasing promotional items, departments must use one of the contracted suppliers listed below. You are strongly encouraged to obtain quotes from all four suppliers to ensure the best pricing.

Important: Prior commodity approval is required for every order that includes the printing of the CSN name, logos, and associated brands.

Once your request is approved, be sure to:

  • Upload the commodity approval email, proof(s), and receipt in Workday.
  • File a copy of the approval with proof(s) in your cardholder binder.

If you prefer not to use your P-Card for the purchase, you may submit a requisition through Workday instead.

Commodity Approval Requirement

Prior commodity approval is required for every order that includes printing the CSN name, logo, or any official brand elements. The artwork you receive marked as “approved” is valid for one-time use only. Even if similar artwork was approved for a previous project or event, each new purchase requires a new commodity approval.
