New Job Form - Affiliate

This form is for those affiliated but not funded or regulated by Iowa State University. Please complete this form to the best of your abilities.

How Long Does it Take to Make a New Product Live?

For new products, it can take as little as 3 days or as long as a few weeks. This is impacted both by how complex a product is and how complete a new job form is when Extension Store staff receive it. A publicly available, no-cost PDF product can usually be made live in just a few days. Tangible, for-cost products with inventory and special customer groups often take longer.


Due to their complexity, eCourses, in particular, can take a fair bit of time to make live. Budgeting a few weeks for complex products to be made live will best allow us to guide you through pricing and delivery strategies.
