Printing

Each semester CSU students are allocated 2,000 pages of free black & white printing on the General Purpose Lab printers. After each semester, the print allocation is adjusted back to 2,000. Unused allocations are NOT carried into subsequent semesters, regardless whether from the initial or purchased allocations. This 2,000 page allowance is derived from a $40 allocation at the per-page rate of two cents. Color printing is available in some labs at fifty cents per page. Printing can be directed to a black & white or color printer by the student and the charge will reflect the printer, not whether color was used or not. Students can purchase additional printing in increments of $2.00 (Two U.S. Dollars) through the Bursar’s office, online at Shopnet , or via Viking Card at the IS&T Call Center in RT-1100. Two dollars will purchase 100 (one hundred) b&w or 4 (four) color pages. Proof of this purchase is to be taken to the IS&T Call Center or the Mobile Campus laptop loan area and the print allocation will be increased. Students can check their available print balance.
