Why do you charge for photocopies?
I pay a technology fee at the university so why do I pay for photocopies and copies over the semester limit?
Answer
The library provides students with a $40 print credit every semester.
The cost of printing is:
- $0.10/page for black and white and
- $0.25/page for color photocopies.
The TU technology fee covers up to $40 of printing every semester but goes towards many other things as well, like networks, computer parts and IT staffing.
Thomas University encourages faculty and students, as guardians of the environment, to reduce paper usage as much as possible by saving to a cloud or network and sharing documents online. DropBox and GoogleDrive are two examples of document hosting and sharing programs.
