Printing in the Lab

Endorsed by the Technology Committee effective Fall 1998, updated Winter 2008.

ITS provides laser printing services at all open computing labs and instructional labs for use in support of academic work. This service includes providing operational printers and adequate printing supplies. The following guidelines will be followed in administering the student printing process.

Papercut Accounts

• Registered Students
  All registered students with a uniqname automatically receive 320 Black and White prints in their Papercut Account to print during Fall, Winter and Spring/Summer semesters. The budget used to cover this expense will be derived from the maintenance portion of the Technology Fee dollars provided to ITS.

   

  • Adding funds:
    • Registered students requiring more than 320 black and white prints/semester can obtain more funds in their Papercut Account by logging into Student Information Services (SIS).
    • In SIS, click on the Personal Information tab, then click on the My Campus Computer Account link, and then select the link Add Papercut Pages. Printing funds that you add will be available to use immediately.
    • When you request for additional pages to be added to your Papercut account, a charge will be made to your university student account.  You can pay this bill at the Cashier’s office or pay online with a credit card.
  • Surplus funds:
    • Students will not be permitted to accumulate funds across semesters.
    • Refunds will not be made for leftover amounts from the initial 320 page allowance and the remaining funds will not carry over to future semesters.
    • At the end of the semester, if you added more funds than you used, you will be refunded for all amounts over $2.00.  For example: if you add $10 to your account, but only use $5, then a $5 credit will be made to your student account.
    • Any refund is made to your university student account and not your Papercut account.
• Others
  Anyone who is not a current student (such as Alumni, Faculty, Staff and GEC students) must visit the ITS office in 207 MSB to add money to their print account.

Uniprint Cards (no longer usable)
The card reader was removed from the labs at the end of the Fall 2006 semester.

Fees

The following information only applies when adding funds through SIS beyond the initial 320 prints.
Any fees charged to students for printing shall not exceed the cost per page of providing the hardware and supplies.

• Black/white printing is $0.05 per page*.
• Color printing is $0.30 per page*.
