Reducing the amount of paper is part of the College's ongoing efforts to have a more environmentally friendly and greener campus. Also, as a not-for-profit, taxpayer supported institution, the College is committed to reducing costs wherever possible.
The College has been monitoring campus printing in the student labs for over a year to determine the average and maximum print usage of students. 45% of students printed less than 50 pages in the open labs. Over 92% of students printed less than 500 pages per semester. The remaining 8% of students accounted for 45% of our print volume. By limiting excessive printing of those few students we can cut down on the overall print costs for everyone.
No. At the beginning of each semester the page count will be reset to 500 for all registered credit students. The page quota is paid from the college budget and is intended to save money and help the environment.
If you have allocation remaining from the previous semester, you will be able to use it up until totals are reset for the next semester. Semester resets are based on the Academic Calendar and are done on the Sunday night one week before the semester begins. If the interim period between semesters is less than one week the reset occurs on the Sunday night before the semester begins.
Yes, a print job is charged at the time it is released to print. We will reimburse your account for printer malfunctions. You must report the problem with the staff at the desk. Be prepared to give them your login ID, ID number, date and time, printer name and name of print job (name of the file being printed). After verifying the issue, you will have the charged amount restored to your print account. Contact the personnel at the desk to report the problem right away, so that we can service the printer immediately.
