Printing on campus

PaperCut

PaperCut is the tool 抖阴福利导航 uses to manage student printing. It keeps track of how much you print, helps cut down on paper waste, and lets you pay for extra pages if you need them. PaperCut also helps keep your printed documents private and secure.聽

  • Each currently registered (credit or non-credit) student is allocated $10 in PaperCut credit per term (approximately 100 pages of double-sided black and white (B&W) printing).
  • PaperCut credit allocated for the previous term does not 鈥渞oll over鈥 to the next term (so a prior term balance would not be added to your present term total).
  • You may purchase additional printing credit directly from a device running PaperCut with a credit or debit card (MasterCard or Visa). Minimum purchase is $2.00.
Printing pricing

These prices are subject to change

Type Cost
Double-sided pages (B&W) $0.10
Single-sided pages (B&W) $0.07
Color pages (per side, where available) $0.25

Please note that purchased printing expires yearly at the end of the summer term. At that time, all accounts are purged and balances are reset to $0.
Important: carefully consider your printing needs as purchases聽are not refundable.
