GVSU Print Limit Rules and Policies

When to Use?

Print rules and print guidelines for students using the GV Print system.

Procedure

• The PRINT ALL, within the print release software, has been disabled so that all jobs will not print as you must now release them individually.
• Print limits stay the same:
  • Job limit per student = 40 printed/copied pages (if duplex, 20 physical sheets).
  • Semester limit per student = 500 printed/copied pages (if duplex, 250 physical sheets).
• Pages will be tracked at $.05 for a single sided print and $0.10 a double sided print, starting with $25 per semester of FREE printing.
• A new website to purchase print pages per student account, via Credit Card only, will allow for the following purchase options:
  • $5           - adds 100 print/copied pages   
  • $10         - adds 200 print/copied pages   
  • $15         - adds 300 print/copied pages   
• No other $ increments allowed.
• All print pages (free and purchased) will be tracked at $.05 for each printed side,  which is the calculated cost of paper, toner, tracking costs as well as printer amortization.
• Both the free cost of print pages as well as the purchased cost of print pages will show as the total available to a student.
• Purchased print pages remain with the life of the student account and do not expire.  Remaining funds after graduation or after a student leaves will not be credited back to the student.
• Print account balances may not be transferred to another student.
• Free print pages expire at the end of each semester.
• No refunds of purchased pages if money left on the account and student graduates or leaves.

• Print quotas will be reset based on the following schedule:

• Fall Semester - reset quota for Fall on the Monday after Summer finals are complete.
• Winter Semester - reset quota for Winter on the Monday after Fall finals are complete.
• Spring/Summer - reset quota for Spring/Summer on the Monday after Winter finals are complete.
