Printing in the Portland State University general access computing labs is regulated by print quotas. Each user is allocated 500 pages per term that do not carry over to the next term. Users that do not exceed their quota will not incur any charges. Users that print more than 500 pages per term will be assesed a per-page fee.
If you exceed the 500 page print quota in a single term, you will automatically be charged for additional pages at a rate of $0.025 per page. This will be billed to your student account.
