Print Allocation per Academic Year

Issue/Question

How much print allocation do I get each academic year?

Resolution

Students

• All WKU students (full-time, part-time, and graduate) have a print allocation of $10.00 for the academic year.
• Any unused portion does not roll over into next year’s allocation.
• The cost per black and white impression is $0.10. The cost per color page is $0.50.
• Two sided printing counts as two impressions/pages.
• New incoming students for the Fall term receive print allocations one week before the fall semester begins.
• New incoming students for the Winter or Spring terms receive print allocations on the first day Winter term starts.
• New incoming students at any other time (e.g. mid-semester) receive print allocations the day following course enrollment

Employees

• The cost per black and white impression is $0.10. The cost per color page is $0.50.
