PROJECT REQUESTS
Welcome! The Nicholls State University Office of Marketing and Communication is here to help. Below you will find a list of the type of projects we can help with. To request a project, fill out one of the forms below and someone will reach out to you in 1-2 business days.
Project timelines begin once our team has all of the materials needed to complete the project. Timelines listed below are general guidelines. We may adjust the estimated time to complete the project depending on our current workload and the size of the requested project.
URGENT PROJECTS
We understand emergencies and last-minute changes and opportunities happen, and we are happy to work with you on those projects. However, if you can schedule in advance, we strongly encourage you to do so and not interrupt projects already in progress.
If an urgent project requires external costs, the requesting department will be responsible for those charges.

CAMPUS UPDATE ON UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS!
University Marketing and Communications is prioritizing work dedicated to recruitment and enrollment to align with the University’s Strategic Enrollment Plan.
Our priority areas are:
- Restructuring the university website to be more enrollment-focused and meet ADA requirements.
- Developing and executing an enrollment communications plan to enhance the prospective student experience.
To dedicate more resources to these critical areas, the team will primarily handle media requests that support the enrollment plan. Departments are encouraged to promote news and events using their departmental social media channels, with guidance provided by the central communications team.
For social media guidance, press releases, or Inside Newsletter requests, please submit a media request.
