Printing Guidelines and Quotas

Pages are deducted from the user’s quota each time a print job is completed based on the rules defined for the printer. The user will have the opportunity to review the cost of the print job prior to sending it to the printer when using a printer that imposes a fee. Typical use costs are highlighted below by user type:

Students and guest users may add additional amounts to their PaperCut account balance by redeeming pre-paid print cards purchased in the Resource Room (B147), adding money through the on-line interface with a credit/debit card, or transferring money from their account. See the Pay with ID and Add Credit sections under Printing Fees for additional information.

Please note: Unused additional cash or credit card funds will remain in a student's account until graduation or separation from the school. Transfer of funds are up to the user!

 

Requesting a Refund

Refunds will only be granted when the error is evaluated and determined to be related to the status of the printer (poor toner quality, wrinkled paper, etc.). These requests should be directed to the technology or support staff when they occur. Technology or office staff will assess the issue and determine if a credit is warranted.

Any refunds will be given in the form of a credit to your PaperCut account. There will be no cash refunds.

The quota added to the student PaperCut account each term is non-refundable. Unused cash or credit card funds will remain in a student's account until graduation or separation from high school. No refunds for unused balances will be granted.

Note: Refunds will not be given for user error (duplicate printing, selecting wrong printer, etc.).
