Student Printing Policy

Network printing is available using shared printers located in the academic labs. ITS staff maintains the shared printing equipment. Students may configure their personal computer to print to one of these shared printers, or they may connect a personal printer directly to their computer. Information on this service and instructions on configuring one’s computer to use a campus printer can be found online by going to http://helpdesk.centre.edu, clicking on the "View our Online Knowledge Base" button, and then clicking on the "Printers" section.

To support student use of the shared printer environment, students are allocated $33.00 – the equivalent of 1100 black and white printed pages for the entire academic year. Half of the allocation ($16.50) is provided during Fall Term and the remainder is made available in January for the rest of the academic year. Students may supplement their initial allocation by depositing funds for additional printing at the rate or $0.03 per B/W page.

Your account is debited the appropriate amount for the charges once the document is printed, not before; however, any discrepancies with charges should be reported as soon as the event occurs to ensure ITS can validate the claim.

There is a modest discount for duplex printing. Discounts are also available for print jobs scheduled with Centre Document Services.
