Printing, Photocopying and Scanning

Printing at Pierce College

Students can use printers, photocopiers, and scanners across the District at computer labs, libraries, and other student support locations. The Paper Cut printing system was launched in 2009 and is funded by Student Technology Fee. The program is designed to help make printing equitable and to encourage sustainability of financial and environmental resources.

Each student registered for credit classes at Pierce College will have a $15 credit in their printing account at the start of each term. Accounts are reset to $15 at the start of each term and balances are not carried over between terms.

• Single-sided black and white prints are 5 cents each
• Double-sided prints (where available) are 8 cents
• Color prints are 20 cents (double-sided prints are 18 cents per side.)
• Poster prices are calculated by the size of the printout, $3/foot

On campus printing is intended for materials that support student academic work. Please use off-campus printers for personal, non-academic printing. For student club and other school-related, yet not academic, printing (such as student club flyers, newsletters, posters, etc.), please contact the Student Life offices for information.

Printing inappropriate material, as outlined in the Pierce College Information Systems Resources (CISR) Acceptable Use Policy, is prohibited.
