Each student will be given $70 in quota per semester.  Each page costs $0.07. This translates into 1000 pages.
The quota is in place to have you evaluate what you absolutely need to print versus what you can read electronically. If you run out of quota during the semester, you must add money to your WiscCard Account. Then you will be able to release your print jobs using your WiscCard balance.
PLEASE NOTE: COLOR PRINTING IS $0.60/Page. If you print a large document in all color you will go through your quota very quickly. It is recommended that you print only the pages in which color is needed and then print the rest to a B&W printer to conserve your quota. The color printer is located in room 1266.
Computer or printer problems in the lab should be directed
