Student print allocations and pricing

The student print allocation is 400 single-sided black and white sheets per semester (fall and spring).

The print allocation is managed with your UMass Pass. You'll need to swipe your UMass Pass at the print release station.

Your initial allocation represents $40 "print dollars," which cannot be refunded or re-allocated to other UMass Pass accounts. Note that:

  • Fall allocations roll over to the spring semester
  • All allocations are cleared each spring & begin again in the fall
  • Students receive 200 single-print sheets per intersession or summer session

Print pricing 

  • Black & white single: 10¢
  • Black & white duplex: 15¢
  • Color single: 25¢
  • Color duplex: 40¢

Maximize your print allocation (and save paper) by selecting duplex printing whenever possible. Check with your professor before handing in a printed assignment that is duplexed.
