Does the institution limit free printing for students in all computer labs and libraries?:
Yes
None
A brief description of how printing is limited:
Printing in Penn's libraries is pay-to-print only and requires students to use their PennCards (a University-issued ID tied to their student account) which can be refilled with funds at their discretion. The printers use a printing queue management software which only releases printing jobs to the printers after students log into the system via a printer bank workstation or from a lab computer. This helps mitigate accidental or mistaken print jobs, conserving paper and ink. Duplex printing is available in most labs and libraries on campus and is generally the default setting.
Penn's twelve schools also limit printing by granting students printing funds on a semester basis, if at all. While some schools, such as the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, offer limited free printing for student coursework and notes (up to 5 pages per half hour for black and white, up to 5 pages per day for color), many adhere to the pay-to-print University policy.
None
