Title: Only 300 pages
Post by: bisonguy on August 22, 2006, 04:08:23 PM
I can not believe that we only get to print 300 pages this semester, without paying more money.  Dont they know that students are always asked to print a bunch of stuff for their classes.  This is just crazy.  Something needs to be done.  :icon_spiderman: :angryfire: :help:

According to todays Spectrum NDSU students printed 7.5 million sheets of paper last year... sounds overly high.  If all students use 300 pages a semester or less we will drop from 7.5 million to 720,000 or so.  :dontknow:

I agree. I have to print out powerpoints and one of my professors just told our class that his department was trying to cut costs, so all the stuff that he usually printed out for the class would now be the responsibility of the students.

I wish I could get money back then for any that we don't use.

I print from home and use my own paper and ink. So if I don't use any of the 300 you would think that I could get a reimbursement.



I am going to count how many pages I actually print this year to see if 300 is too high, too low or just about right.

Yea, I use to do alot of my own printing, but I figured that since I am paying to print 300 pages I might as well get my moneys worth and print stuff.

I see what you mean.  It would be a huge pain if you didn't use all your pages.  Maybe they should keep the limit but also keep track of how many we use and just charge the 5 cents per page and reimburse for unused pages at the end of the semester.

Interesting observation... that would be crazy. 

Dont you think NDSU wants their students to be successful?

Also, I heard there is talking of raising the print allocation!

It's true, The allocation was raised and will stay raised for spring semester. ITS has kinda been thinking radically it seems. They have done this in the past before. Several years ago it was Bandwidth restrictions on campus (they actually thought we could 'survivie' on 200MB/day! :o ) Now, they've fixed that and it's the RPI. I have not doubt that it will all be agreeable in a year or so.

Well at least something good was finally done, with its.  I do remember the 200 MB a day, that was really sad.  1 GB isnt bad, yet I have found my self going over when I download material that enhances my education.

Materials that enhance your education  ;)

I wonder if we are allowed to use VOIP over NDSU internet?  Not that I really need to...

If you can stay under the 1GB then give it a try!
