TIM Printing Policy and Procedure
- Each student is given a 300-page print quota per semester (200 pages for summer). Once the quota limit has been reached, students will need to print elsewhere.
- Single- or double-sided printing is available. Select the appropriate printer before you confirm your print job. Students must also take an additional step to release their print job from the print release station located next to the printers. Jobs not released will be automatically purged after 90 minutes.
- NO print “credits” or “refunds” will be given for misprints.
- To provide each student with reasonable access to printers, each print job is limited to 25 pages. Any job sent to the printer that is larger than 25 pages, will be ignored.
- Color printing is NOT available in the TIM Lab. Please go to Hamilton Addition or the Rainbow Copy Center (Bookstore).
Saving Your Work
Students should bring their own media to save their work. TIM will not be responsible for loss of data, damage, or loss of personal items. Each student is responsible to maintain backups of data and keeping track of personal items.
Assistance
TIM IT personnel provide hardware and software support to TIM faculty, staff, and students.
