Students enrolled in a Price College course are granted full access to both the laser printers and the color printers located in all of the Price College labs.

The cost to students is 5 cents per page for black and white prints (8 cents for duplex) and 25 cents for color prints. At the start of each semester, all students are provided $10.00 worth of free pages. Once the allotted amounts are exceeded, charges will be billed to the students' Bursar accounts at the end of each semester.

• Remaining balances do not carry over to the next semester
• Reimbursement is made for faulty prints due to printer error.
