In the Spring 2008 semester, IT implemented a print cost recovery system. All undergraduate students registered for the current semester will receive an allotment of 500 black and white prints per semester. Graduate students registered for the current semester will receive an allotment of 900 black and white prints per semester. Pages printed beyond the initial allotment will be charged to the student's account at $0.05 per page. To print beyond the initial allotment, students must consent to allowing IT to post charges to their student account.
