Paying for print: How much will it really cost?

INFOGRAPHIC BY JESSICA WEINGARTEN

The luxury of attending one of the few Ontario post-secondary institutions with campus-wide free printing will soon be over. Over the next few weeks, the college will implement a pay-for-print system for each campus. Students will receive a $5 initial printing credit from the college. Once that credit runs out, you will be responsible for purchasing your own top-up cards to print on campus.

INFORMATION ON TOP-UP CARDS:

• Cards can be purchased in denominations of $5, $10 and $20
• You can purchase a card at each campus bookstore (cash/debit/credit), library (debit only) and Instructional Technology Support Centre (ITSC) [debit only]
• Cards can also be purchased at the Learning Commons service desk (Trafalgar and Davis Campuses) [debit only] and The Office of the Registrar at the Skills Training Centre
• You can also top up online in MyStudent Centre using a debit card
