Printing

As a student enrolled in the College of Engineering, you will receive a total allowance of 4,000 units per semester for printing.

The PaperCut system lets you use network printers in more places, provide a consistent printing experience, and make departmental printing allowances available for use with any PaperCut printer. The standard charge is 5 units per page for black-and-white, and 15 units per page for color.

If you wish to print using your personal device, please see Print to TLA Printers in Coover Hall for information on using Mobility Print.

Frequently Asked Questions

After using up your initial 4,000 units and any additional units from departments, additional printing costs will be charged directly to your U-Bill, and your PaperCut balance will appear as negative. Printing charges that appear on your U-bill require a $1 minimum. However, the maximum amount that can be charged past the initial 4,000 units is 5,000 units ($50) per semester, although a student can make a request through the Solution Center for that amount to be increased. Contact the Solution Center with questions about your PaperCut balance.
