Baldwin-Wallace College supports a print quota for students using the B-W computer labs. Print quotas are intended to help promote environmental responsibility through waste reduction, discourage unnecessary printing, and provide free printing services to meet the needs of most students. Printers in the B-W computer labs are for academic purposes.
Each semester (fall, spring, and summer), registered students are given a reasonable printing allowance for a specified amount of free printing. Full-time students receive a $25.00 credit per semester ($15.00 for part-time students). The credit can be used for black & white printing, color printing, or any combination of those services. The per-page charge is deducted from a declining balance each time a student prints in the lab.
Current rates for B-W computer labs are:
- $.05/per page for black and white printing (single-sided or double-sided)
- $.40/per page for color printing (single sided only available)
Duplex printing (both sides of the paper) counts as only one printed sheet, thereby potentially increasing a student’s printing allowance. Duplex printers are available for black & white printing only and are located in the following labs on campus:
- Math & Computer Science Computer Lab (Room 132) – open 24/7
- Kamm Hall Computer Labs (Rooms 137)
- Kleist Art & Drama Center (Room 128)
- Malicky Center Lab (Room 220)
- Malicky Center PIRC Lab (basement)
- Ritter Library FSCS Lab (2nd Floor)
- B-W East (2nd Floor)
If a student exceeds his/her $25.00 limit during a semester, charges for each additional page printed will be posted to their monthly account summary statement. Unused credit balances remaining at the end of a semester are not carried over to the next semester and no cash value is refunded.
Students can monitor their print usage at any time by selecting the “My B-W Printing Activity Report” module in the Yellow Jacket portal.
B-W staff members do not receive a printing allowance for the labs. If a staff member utilizes the lab facilities, charges (as in rates above) will be billed to their department. It is up to the department chair whether or not this printing is authorized and will be paid for on the department’s budget or charged to the staff member.
Student Organizations do not receive a printing allowance for the labs. Organizations need to utilize the B-W Print Shop for their bulk printing needs.
