Print Quotas

Printing at DWU is provided as part of your tuition.  There has been a significant increase in printing use, and also a significant paper and toner cost.  The cost of paper, the printers require toner, maintenance items, and occasionally repair and replacement.  Several bins of paper containing unclaimed internet printing are thrown away each week.  To minimize this waste and promote responsible printing, a print quota will be given to each student at the start of each semester.  This is a declining balance for each page printed, and this balance is based on a 25 page per day usage.  There is no daily limit, however you should monitor your usage by occasionally logging on to a computer on campus to prevent the possibility of interrupted printing at the end of the semester.  An 'overdraft' is enabled to allow the completion of a document if you are near a zero balance.  If you need to recharge your balance, you may do so in $5 increments.  Balances are not refundable, nor do they carry over between semesters.  Each balance is reset on the first official day of class.

The cost per page is posted at each printer, and is currently set as follows:
Black and White printers:  $.10 per page
Color printers:   $.50 per page

A color laser printer is available for use on the main floor in the Library.  You may access this printer from any of the lab computers on campus.
