Student Printing
Each student receives a $30 print allocation each semester and $15 for the summer. This allocation may be used for any type of printing including black-and-white, color, and 11 x 17 printing (both black-and-white and color) and plotter printing.
In order to print more than what is covered by the print allocation, students must add funds to their account by visiting https://print.tamu.edu. When a student prints something, a pop-up appears containing the cost of the current print job, their remaining account balance and an option to approve the print job.
Students Printing for Professors
Students needing to print on departmental accounts must have the department setup the student with a print authorization on a departmental account.
When a student has a departmental authorization, they may select the departmental account when releasing the job on the pharos release station.
Students needing to have print charges go to a departmental account, need to have the department email Account Services requesting the student be added to the departmental account. Currently, this option only works on the plotter.
Faculty Printing
OAL print allocations are automatically created for faculty. Faculty charges will be billed to and paid for by the Associate Vice President for Academic Services.
