Student Computing Services

Reduced Print Quotas

Due to the current financial situation faced by UCR, and the need for budget reductions, Student Computing Services (SCS) must reduce student print quotas beginning Summer 2009. Beginning June 15, 2009 UCR student print quotas will be reduced to a total of 40 sheets per quarter. Lab printing will be for emergency printing. Term papers, homework and notes should be printed at home whenever possible.

Please note, that if the current budget situation changes it may become necessary to discontinue printing in the SCS computer labs.

For questions please email helpdesk@student.ucr.edu or call (951) 827-6495.
