Understanding Print Points

The university uses a Print Point charge system to help curb waste and support the sustainability efforts of the university while allowing you to print your course assignments. 

Print Points can be Allocated or Purchased. 

Allocated Print Points

Open Campus/Non-credit students and Alumni may purchase a print card in any of the campus libraries to print. 

• When are Print Points allocated: All Print Points are allocated automatically at the start of the semester. 
• Unused Allocated Print Points: Are carried over between semesters, up to a maximum of 300 Allocated Print Points. 
• Where do Allocated Print Points come from: Allocated Print Points carry no monetary value. They DO NOT come from student tuition or any university fees.
