DoIT Labs Printing Policy
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to manage the expenses associated with increased printing generated by the migration
of course materials to an online format and authorize cost recovery.
2.0 Scope
The scope of this policy includes all EMU faculty, staff and students accessing printing resources within the DoIT
Computing Labs, affiliated academic computing labs, and print kiosks distributed across campus.
3.0 Policy
Faculty, staff and students enrolled in the current semester will be assigned a printing allotment as follows:
Undergraduate students registered in the current semester shall be granted an initial printing allotment of $25.
Graduate students registered in the current semester shall be granted an initial printing allotment of $45.
Faculty and staff shall be granted an initial printing allotment of $25.
The print allotment, though represented in dollars, holds no monetary value. Balances may not be rolled over to
future semesters, transferred to other users or exchanged for cash. As users print, their balance will be deducted per
page printed at a rate as follows:
Pages printed on a black and white laser printer will be charged at a rate of $0.05 per page.
Pages printed on a color laser printer will be charged at a rate of $0.20 per page.
When a student has consumed their printing allotment for the semester, they may opt to continue printing with the
charges for the additional printing assessed to their student account. They may agree to beyond quota printing by
