Explanation of Full-time vs Part-time student quota.
Full-time students ( students with 11 or more credits) will have a quota of $18.00 per student per semester (fall and spring). Part-time students (students with 10 or less credits) will have a quota of $9.00 per student per semester. Quotas are reset at beginning of each new semester. Unused balances are not carried forward. Once the semester quota is used up, a student must have a balance remaining in Blackboard Transact “Viking Dollars” adequate to cover the print job he or she is attempting to print. PaperCut will not allow a student print job to print if the balance available is inadequate. To add money to your Viking Dollars, please see the following OneStop solution: Adding Funds to Viking Dollars for Student Printing For more information about this topic or other printing related topics please click here.
