This manual provides a detailed explanation of how to conduct the guide program from initial supply orders to finalized printing and distribution. The manual is tailored to Ball State University; however it should be representative and general enough to be of use at any college or university. The names of offices and departments involved in the project may vary from campus to campus; however their functions are common to all institutions of higher education. Therefore, the technical assistance should be available on any campus.It is understoood that, as time passes, less expensive innovations for carrying out such a project will be developed. Therefore, this manual should not be used as a strict procedural outline, but rather as a resource for the production of a student course guide.
