Student Printing Info & Policy

At the University of Louisiana at Monroe, student printing is funded through the Student Technology Access Plan (STAP). Thus since printing is funded by STAP for the given semester, only actively, enrolled students taking classes are allowed to print.

Printing is controlled using the PaperCut NG system, aptly named myPrint on the ULM campus. Every student is allotted 300 print credits at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters.  Credits are added to the Students' accounts around midnight Saturday night of each week at a rate of 150 credits per week with a maximum credit limit of 300 (ie, start the week with 300, use 75, only 75 will be added back).

Note: We continue to investigate a plan to allow students an e-commerce option to purchase more print credits.

The cost of printing is as follows:

Black & White Simplex = 1 credit

Black & White Duplex = 1.5 credits

Color Simplex = 10 credits

Color Duplex = 15 credits

The cost of printing 1 impression (1 single-sided page) is calculated based on the costs of the printer, toner, maintenance kits, repair, and paper.

Use of personal or specialized paper is not allowed.

To conserve your printing quota in a manner that will benefit you academically, printing is intended for your personal, academic use only. Absolutely no printing for personal gain; you therefore should refrain from using your printing quota for non-University purposes.

Please review your print job before printing to avoid unwanted blank sheets or other errors. You will be charged for these pages and no refunds will be approved for these errors. Refunds will be reviewed before they are approved. Refunds are issued for problems due to defective equipment, i.e. paper jams or toner smears that will deem it unacceptable to turn in for academic grading. These types of problems should be directed to the computer lab assistant. Please allow 24 hours for the refund to be reviewed during normal working days. Requests submitted during the weekend will be reviewed on Monday.

 

Mobile Printing

If you are on campus, log in to myprint.ulm.edu and select Mobility Print. This will give you instructions on how to set up myPrint on your personal device. This service will only work while connected to the ULMStudent wireless network.

If you are off campus, you can utilize the WebPrint feature. The allowed formats are Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Adobe PDF, and picture files. The file size limit is 10MB. You have the option on printing to a black/white printer or a color printer. The print job will be automatically duplexed if it multiple pages. You can release the documents at any of the release stations on campus within 24 hours. After this time period the document will be deleted.

Do not use WebPrint if you are on campus or using a lab computer.
