On Campus Printing

 

Every student has $5.00 for printing attached to their student accounts each quarter through a printing account called PaperCut. This amount does not carry over into other quarters but money can be added if it runs out before the quarter ends. The standard cost per page is $.03 for black and white or $.13 per page for color.

In order to print, students need to obtain a printing fob which are available at the library front desk. Ask for help in getting your account set-up initially. Once you have associated a fob to your account, the fob is yours to keep and you can send print jobs to any printer on campus from an SVC computer.
