Printing at GRC

Printing

Printing is a two-step-process
  1. FIRST, Log on to a campus computer in the Holman Library or TC Lab with your student email and password
  2. Open your file and select print
  • In order to reduce the impact of paper use and printing on our environment, the default on all printers in the Information Commons is set to print two-sided pages.
  • If you would like help printing single-sided pages, please ask a librarian or student assistant for help in the IC or TC labs.
  1. THEN, get up and go over to a "Print Release Station" (usually located in the middle of the Library or TC buildings)
  2. Log on to the print release station with your student email and password, see the jobs that you sent, and click "print" to release the jobs to the printer

Print Allocation

At the beginning of each quarter, all currently enrolled students receive a print allocation credit of 350 points. Points are automatically debited every time you print or copy. 

  • Black & white copies are one (1) point per side. [2-sided copy = 2 points]
  • Black & white prints are one (1) point for each piece of paper. [2-sided printout = 1 point]
  • Color prints are ten (10) points.
  • Posters are one hundred (100) points.
  • Unused points accumulate from quarter to quarter, until a maximum of 1000 points is reached.  
  • If you do not attend Green River for 6 months, your account will be deleted along with accumulated points.

You may add points at a cost of $.05/point to your account by purchasing $1, $5, or $10 print cards (20, 100, and 200pts) from the Paper Tree Bookstore. Staff at the library can help you add the purchased points to your printing account.
