Student Printing

Now ACE Students can use campus printing. View this page for instructions

Students are granted print credit at the beginning of each quarter1. Adjustments to the print credit are made after the 10th day of the quarter. The print credit is cumulative and any remaining balance will "roll over" quarter to quarter. All print credit expires on June 30th each year.

Credit totals are listed below:

  • Undergraduate students enrolled in 12 credits or more will receive a print credit of $5.00 per quarter
  • Undergraduate students enrolled in 11 credits or less will receive a print credit of $2.50 per quarter
  • Graduate students enrolled in 6 credits or more will receive a print credit of $5.00 per quarter
  • Graduate students enrolled in 5 credits or less will receive a print credit of $2.50 per quarter

Once the print credit has been used, students must load Falcon Funds through Falcon Card Services or purchase $1.00 or $5.00 credit coupons from the Library Tech Front Desk.

Printing costs are based on the size of paper used and if the job is in color. The per-page costs are:

  • Grayscale letter (8½x11) : $0.05
  • Color letter: $0.10
  • Grayscale ledger (11x17): $0.08
  • Color ledger: $0.16


Document scanning is free and does not require print credit.

Students have two options to submit jobs from personal computers:

Students can also use an SPU library or lab computer to print to Secure Print through the PaperCut Print Client

All print jobs submitted through these methods require an individual to log into an MFP with either their Falcon Card or their SPU Username and Password to release the job.
