About the UITS printing account
The UITS printing account provides access to UITS-managed printing services on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. UITS provides printing services in all of its Student Technology Centers (STCs), as well as the Residential Technology Centers (RTCs).
Who may have a printing account
Because the STCs are funded entirely from the Student Technology Fee, unrestricted access to these facilities is limited to students and to faculty who teach in the STCs and, in the case of the RTCs, those living in campus housing. To better control the costs associated with providing printing services, UITS provides an STC printing allotment at IUB. The size of the allotment allocated to students is based upon their status as undergraduate, graduate, or professional students, and is intended to permit 85% of IUB students to print free of charge.
Through a partnership with the IU Libraries, the UITS printing account also provides access to printing services to patrons of libraries on the IUB campus. Other departmental partnerships provide similar access to selected computing facilities around campus. UITS printing accounts are also available for a fee to those departments wishing to sponsor individual or departmental printing accounts.
Departments also purchase access to printing services when they purchase STC access for their conference participants.
Note: Sponsors must keep records of all conference account users. In the case of a security or policy violation, the sponsor must be able to supply identity and contact information for the user of the offending account at the time of the incident, and must assist in problem resolution.
Getting a printing account
Registered students and faculty are automatically entitled to a
printing account. Departments may purchase additional UITS printing
accounts by contacting stcprint@indiana.edu .
If you are affiliated with IUB, you may purchase an account or add a
supplemental allotment to an existing account. To do so,
visit the UITS Support Center walk-in location in the Information
Commons (IC).
If you are a student or faculty member, to verify that your printing account is activated, go to the printing allotment page at:
http://stcweb.stc.indiana.edu/print/If your account does not appear, send a printing account request to
stcprint@indiana.edu , visit a UITS Support
Center walk-in location, or contact the UITS Support Center in
Bloomington at 812-855-6789.
Checking your account's print allotment
If you are a student, you will be billed for any printing over your allotment. All other UITS printing accounts must have an available balance in order to print. For more information on your printing allotment, see About STC printing allotments at IUB.
Note: To avoid unexpected charges on your bursar bill, check your IUB printing allotment or IUPUI printing allocation regularly.
Expiration of printing account
Your printing account at IUB does not expire unless you are no longer enrolled in classes; that is, it remains active just as your other accounts do.
