| Printing on the Kalamazoo College
campus is available from computers in the computer labs and
in the Library. Students may not use networked campus printers
from their rooms. To cover paper and toner costs, printer maintenance,
and to discourage waste, Information Services tracks the number
of pages printed on campus laser printers and charges a nominal
printing fee.
Who Can Print
Current students, faculty, and staff with a Kalamazoo College
network account can print from Library and lab computers.
Checking Printing Accounts
To view the print credit balance, double-click the black dollar
sign in the track next to the clock in the lower right-hand
corner of the screen. Printing accounts will block print jobs
that exceed the number of available credits. Balance can only
be viewed on PCs but students are still charged if using a
Macintosh computer.
Print Credit Allotment
One printed page equals one print credit. Students are allotted
100 free print credits per quarter, with two exceptions: students
receive 150 print credits in the fall quarter of their first
year to offset First Year Seminar assignments, and 300 print
credits in the fall quarter of their senior year to offset
SIP printing costs. Credits stay in student printing accounts
throughout the academic year, accumulating each quarter. However,
Information Services refreshes printing accounts each summer,
so credits do not carry over to the following academic year.
Adding Print Credits
Students may purchase print credits for 10¢ per page
at the Circulation Desk in the Library. Students may add credits
to their printing accounts in increments of 10¢. Consider
how many credits you need before purchasing them; if you run
out of credits, you will not be able to print.
Reimbursement
Information Services cannot reimburse students for unused
credits. In addition, print credits are not transferable to
other accounts. You may request a refund of print credits
if a printout is unreadable, wrinkled, or caught in a paper
jam. Bring the flawed pages to the Library Circulation Desk
to receive a print credit refund. You CANNOT request a refund
for non-printer errors such as blank pages at the end of a
document, printing a document in error, or spelling mistakes.
Off-Campus Study
Students studying off-campus will accumulate the number of
credits outlined above. However, students studying off-campus
for nine months will not receive extra print credits when
they return in the Fall. All printing accounts are refreshed
in the summer.
