Each student starts with $15.00 of printing credits. Depending if the page is in color or black/white or if it is a duplex page will determine cost. Your money will go back into the budget that pays for the printer maintenance and supplies. Your tuition only covers $12.50 of printing per semester; additional printing credits can be purchased at the campus business office.
Printers do malfunction from time to time, but if you get an unusable printout for any reason, please bring the questionable pages to the IIT Helpdesk and we will inspect them for a possible account credit. Otherwise we will assume the print was successful.
You can check your balance by going to http://papercut.fox.uwc.edu:9191. This will ONLY work if you are on campus. For more information on papercut please view our PaperCut Tutorial
It is your responsibility to monitor your account and to purchase more pages at the Business Office when you see it is getting low. However, if for some reason you cannot, such as the Business Office is closed, stop down at the IIT Helpdesk for assistance.

The Video Bulletin Board System provides faculty and staff with a means to communicate with our students via our internal video system. Monitors are placed in high-traffic areas on campus to ensure students will see the information being posted. For more information on posting information, email fox-helpdesk@uwc.edu
