Printing and Copying

To reduce waste and encourage less paper usage, Bowdoin has adopted an "allocation then charge" model for printing and copying.

Each semester students receive a $60 credit, equivalent to 1200 black-and-white, double-sided sheets. Once your semester's allocation is exhausted, print costs are debited from your OneCard account. Print costs, outlined on this page, remain constant whether the print costs are charged to your allocation or are charged to your OneCard account.

This allocation can be used at all public printers on campus. Additionally, copy machines and microform prints now draw against your allocation funds, if available, before deducting from your OneCard account.

The total cost of your print job will be displayed on the computer or in Print Center at the time of printing so you will have an opportunity to cancel the job. At the print release station you can see your current allocation balance and can cancel your print job. You are not charged until your document is sent to the printer.
