Does the institution limit free printing for students in all computer labs and libraries?:
Yes

A brief description of how printing is limited:

Students are given a certain amount of sheets of printing a semester. When they go over this amount they are charged for each additional sheet. We have computer labs and classroom labs that are monitored and the students are taught by the Lab Assistant to be careful with their printing and encouraged to save documents as PDF's instead of printing.

"Aggie Print" stations are new printing stations around campus that are set to double-sided printing and stocked with recycled paper.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

We're making our computer labs sustainable by turning off monitors at the end of each day and turning off computers and printers, where acceptable, at the end of the day. This creates awareness of energy savings across campus. We also have toner recycling stations in the student computer labs.
