Service Overview
Print Credits
Students enrolled in credit related courses are given a standard number of print credits each semester. This allows printing on all public printers on campus (computer labs, classrooms, libraries, etc.). Once these have been used up, students may purchase additional print credits either through their SpiderCard accounts, the main service desk at Boatwright Library, or the HelpDesk. The HelpDesk does not accept cash or credit cards, but will process transactions with a students' SpiderCard. Boatwright Library accepts cash or SpiderCards.

Getting Started
Students seeking course credit
Print credits issued in the fall and spring semesters will carry over through completion of the end of the summer terms. At the end of the summer term all print credits will be set to zero. New print credits will be credited at the beginning of the fall semester as described above.
Students can purchase additional print credits. Each credit is 4 cents and print credits are sold in increments of 25 credits. One print credit prints a page on a black and white printer, and four print credits prints a single page on a color printer. Front and back counts as one page. Printing a black and white page on a color printer costs the same as a color print. The type of printer dictates the cost of the print. Additional print credits can be purchased in Boatwright Library or at the HelpDesk. The HelpDesk does not accept cash or credit cards, but will process transactions with a students' SpiderCard.
