Submission Formats
Ads submitted digitally must be sent to rocket.ads@sru.edu in one of the following file formats: JPEG, TIFF, or PDF. We will also accept text-only advertisements in Microsoft word.

Ads submitted on paper will be scanned or entered manually to resemble the original, depending on the quality of the submission.
