In order to contribute, we must start your paperwork with the University of Houston System (UHS) so you can get paid!

The Business Manager emails your information to Student Affairs. A Student Affairs representative will send you a link to the registration form to your personal email address (the one you provided in the Application form).

1. Access the link
2. Complete the registration form and submit form to UHS.
3. Forward the email from UHS which confirms that you have been approved as a vendor to the Business Manager and Editor.
   
   The email reads: “Your vendor registration request has been approved by the University of Houston System.”

1. Express to the Editor that you want to contribute for an Issue (Issues are bi-weekly editions of the newspaper). You may sign up to get assignments for any Issue that The Dateline publishes (usually we publish 8 issues every semester).
2. Get assigned work (article, artwork, photograph) by the Editor or pitch an idea to the Editor.
3. Submit on SharePoint by the Issue deadline.

All submissions are subject to editing. The senior Editor makes final decisions for all publications.

Contributors can get paid for each contribution that is printed. Student workers and alumni are not eligible for payment. Invoices SHOULD BE paid within 2-4 weeks, but it may take longer.

If you are paid to work anywhere on the UHD campus, you are not eligible to be paid for your work with The Dateline. You are still welcome to contribute to the paper.
