鶹Ƶ Print Accounting Policy
鶹Ƶ uses a print accounting system for tracking and charging for both student and staff locations, for printers and copiers. The system is supported through both the Technology Services and Mail and Printer Services Departments and Marco on campus. 鶹Ƶ has been using a print accounting system since 2010.
Student Print Account Policy
Students are allowed and encouraged to install the printers in the residence halls and academic labs on their personally owned computers. For installation directions, please see: Adding a Student Lab Printer. For more information on using the Print Account system for students, please see: Using the Student Print Accounting System
鶹Ƶ Technology Services fully supports the printers in these locations. If a printer is low on toner, paper, or having issues, simply call the Technology Helpline (507-933-6111) for assistance.
The print accounting system charges and tracks printing. A single side of a single page (8.5" x 11") costs $0.06 to print in black and white. Students have $30.00 per academic year added to their print account (part of comprehensive fee).
Duplex Discount
A duplex discount is given for printing on both sides of one sheet. The discount is 1 cent off the second side. A 2 page document printed on one piece of paper will be 9 cents (6 + 5 cents) instead of 11 cents.
Adding Money
Money can be added to student print accounts at any time. Funds are added at the print.gac.edu web interface. For more information see: Adding funds to your account.
Carry Over
Funds left on a student account at the end of an academic year, will not be carried over to the following year. Printing balances cannot be cashed out and will be lost when a student graduates. New funds will be added in late August to allow printing throughout the summer for Seniors.
Printing Charges
The following summarizes charges for various printing sizes and types. All charges given are per side.
| Paper size | Type of printing | Charge |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5" x 11" | black and white | $0.06 |
| 8.5" x 11" | color | $0.25 |
| 11" x 17" | black and white | $0.12 |
| 11" x 17" | color | $0.50 |
Student organizations, special groups, etc
Student organizations, teacher's assistants or other special groups that need to print on campus, to student printers, can use a special purpose account. More information can be found at Special purpose account printing
Non-鶹Ƶ users / guests
Guests of the college can print on the public printers in the library. Guests will need to register a username and password for their account and purchase a prepaid card from library staff. More information can be found at Guest printing.
Faculty, Staff, and Departments
Faculty and staff are encouraged to use their departmental printers. Non-departmental (Student) printers may be used, but costs will be charged against departmental accounts. Faculty and staff should not add funds to their account manually. Instead the department will receive a bill at the end of each month.
