University Policy Regarding Student Printing Funds

Students are required to load funds on their account by using the PaperCut portal. There is a minimum load amount of $1.00 when funds are added. All funds loaded to student printing accounts will be available until July 31, of the current academic year. Any existing funds not used by that date will be removed from the student's printing account. No refunds will be issued for any unused printing funds once the student separates from the University.
