Printing & Copying

Campus Printing

Computing Services and Hunt Library maintain publicly accessible printing stations on campus. The ID Card may be used for the Campus Printing system. Each semester, enrolled degree-seeking students and faculty and staff members are allocated a print quota of $40, which can be used to pay for printing in the Campus Printing system. These funds are distributed on a "use it or lose it" basis. Once the print quota has been depleted, an individual may supplement their print quota by depositing money into their Plaid Cash account. Printing quota balances can be monitored by visiting the Campus Printing Web Portal

Sponsored cardholders are not issued a print quota; however, they may use the Campus Printing system by depositing money into a Plaid Cash account. Print jobs may be submitted as a "guest" user and Plaid Cash will be used to pay for the service.

For more information, visit the Computing Services website.

Copying 

Copying is available at select printer locations and in Hunt Library. Copies are available at a rate of $0.10.

Departmental Printing & Copying

Departments have the option of purchasing Print/Copy Cards from The HUB in order to have printing and copying charged to an Oracle string. Departments may also purchase a Print/Copy Card for an individual. Departmentally supplied funds are non-refundable and may only be used for printing and copying purposes. To request a departmental Print/Copy Card, complete the Departmental Deposit Request form and return it to The HUB.
