Project FAQs
Does every job require submission of the project request form?
Yes, to ensure project requests are properly documented, scheduled, and completed all projects require a project request form. What if I forget to submit a project request form?
All projects require a project request form. Inquires made through other channels will be kindly asked to submit the project through the proper form. How early must I submit a project request form?
The earlier, the better! More specific details are outlined in the form, but on average projects requires at least three weeks’ notice. If you’re curious about how we take projects from conception to completion, check out our process overview here. Can I submit website design requests through the project form?
No, website development/redesign requests must be submitted to AMPD Computing – ampdweb@yorku.ca. You can submit requests for online news articles, web copy or graphics through the project form. My project paraments have changed or I am no longer pursuing the project. Who should I contact?
A team member will reach out to you within 48 hours (about 2 days) of submitting a project request, they will be your contact through the project. It is encouraged all information is finalized before submitting a request as major changes may result in a later delivery date.
