printing policy
Central
Methodist University has been one of the few universities that
does not charge students to use its printers. However, the
expense to support printing in the student labs has risen
dramatically in the last several years. Much of this
expense is due to waste and a small percentage of students who
abuse the printing privileges. Central Methodist University
intends to continue to offer printing as a free service. In
order to do so, a limit is being placed on the number of pages
that a student may print each semester.
At the start of each semester the balance in each student’s
printer usage account will be reset to $50. Students may
check their current balance on their account by clicking on the
PRINT MANAGER icon on the lower right-hand side of the taskbar or by stopping by the Office of
Technology Services. Please
review information on current printing charges.
Students who wish to print more
than their allotted number of pages will be able to purchase additional
credit. Users may deposit funds into their account at any
time by stopping by the Office of Technology Services.
Balances will not carry over to the next semester when the
accounts are reset.
This policy has been put into place to enable us to continue to
offer free printing services to the majority of our students,
and to encourage conservation of paper and consumables.
Any questions may be directed to the Office of Technology
Services.
