Student Organizations must be recognized by the Office of Campus Activities in order to check out items. Most items are free, but a few have a nominal fee. You can find these resources at The Student Organization Resource Center (SORC). In this presentation, you will learn about many of the resources available for you to use. We recommend you reserve all items at least one week in advance. Please contact: SORC Secretary, at the SORC Front Desk to provide your reservation information. tch33@drexel.edu tch33@drexel.edu (215) 895-1328

Each student group receives one free poster per term, and is charged only $5 for any additional posters. Your poster must be 24”x36” in size and in PDF format. To print, send the file to the SORC Secretary at tch33@drexel.edu and we will send it to the printer for you. You can typically pick up your poster in the SORC within the same day as the request.tch33@drexel.edu

10. This is the SORC black and white/color printer, copier, scanner and fax machine. To print directly from one of the SORC computers, send your work to the “Canon” printer. You will then enter your group’s copy code (provided to your group’s president) into the ID and password areas. If you forget it, the SORC Secretary can give it to you. To copy or fax, go to the machine itself and enter this same code into the ID and password areas. Each student org is allotted 50 free black and white copies per term, then charged only 3 cents per additional copy. Color copies are also available for only 8 cents per sheet. Your SAFAC account is charged for copies.
