Printing Management Information for Students

A printing management program will be implemented in the Fall 2013 semester to promote responsible printing, reduce costs, and conserve paper.   We hope students will be more aware of how much is printed and think about ways to limit printing and paper usage by choosing digital copies. 

The program will use PaperCut, a printing management software for managing your printing allowance, transferring and purchasing additional credit, and checking printing history. 

Students will receive information on saving and managing digital copies of readings and obtaining free and low-cost annotation software and Faculty will be encouraged to accept digital assignments and double-sided printed assignments. 

How it works:

Each semester students will receive $15.00 credit for 300 prints ($.05 each) with a 30% discount for double-sided printing.  In addition, students will have a buffer, or overdraft allowance, to avoid suspension of printing in the middle of a job. 

Credit can be carried over from Fall to Spring semester.  Students can log into their Papercut account at anytime to see the remaining balance. 

Students can purchase additional printing credit in the Library.  When purchasing additional credit students will receive a card similar to a retail gift card with an authorization number.  Enter the number in a PaperCut account and credit instantly appears.

After clicking the print button in an application’s print window the PaperCut window will open showing the number of pages in the job and how much it will cost.  Duplex printing will be the default but single-sided can be selected from the application’s print window. 

Student organizations will have special printing accounts for officers and will be billed separately by Student Affairs. 

Instructions for using PaperCut and other information can be found here.

If you have questions contact the Library or ITS.

Important Information about Parking & Decals

Officers will begin issuing citations starting Monday, September 9.  If you have not yet gotten your 2013-14 parking decal, please do so ASAP.  Look for the Campus Safety table in the College Center lobby on Thursday and Friday.  After that, you can get decals at the Campus Safety office (located in new South Hall) between 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. during the week.  Also, look for the Campus Safety table in the College Center in the next few days.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR VEHICLE’S TAG NUMBER to get a decal.

Some quick tips:

• South and North residents are NOT allowed to park in the AC lots between 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., M-F.  This area is for Visitors; Fac/Staff; and Commuter students.
•   Students are NOT allowed to park in the Whitworth/Sanders circle between 8 a.m. –  4:30 p.m., M-F.  This area is for Visitors and Staff.

• Aside from the TWO Handicapped spaces at the end of the AC sidewalk (by Sullivan-Harrell & English House), vehicles are not allowed to park in this semi-circle area.
• NEVER park in a space designated for Handicapped if you do not have official designation, EVEN if it’s just for a minute, late, in the rain, on the weekend.
