Student Printing & Copying

Each term, students will be provided an allowance of $10 to be used for course-related printing and copying. This is not a charge to you, but merely an allowance. You will only owe money if you choose to print or copy in excess of your allowance.

Printing rates are as follows:

Each time you print, you will see information related to the cost of the job you are submitting as well as your remaining balance. When your $10 allowance is exhausted, you must pay for any additional printing and copying that you would like to do. Additional balance may be added to your account logging into PaperCut’s personal portal. Select "Add Credit" choose the amount you wish to add, select “Add value”. This will take you to a PayPal website, if you do not have a PayPal account, you can choose “Pay with Debit or Credit Card”.

Any unused allowance left in your account at the end of the semester will not be carried over to the next semester and cannot be refunded. If you've added extra funds to your account, those dollars will stay available and continue to roll over until they're used. Print allowances cannot be transferred to another student.

If you are concerned about the adequacy of your allowance because of the amount of printing that is required for your courses, please contact the manager of Printing Services. They will work with the appropriate College personnel to research the situation and explore options.

All printers require users to sign in to use. To make this process as efficient as possible, you are encouraged to use your student ID badge as a swipe card. Student ID badges can be requested through Student Life. To register the ID card for the first time, enter your Student ID and password after swiping it in the card reader.
