CSN Print Wise System Overview

Students are provided with a $10 printing credit at the beginning of each semester.

  • Black and white copies: 5 cents per page
  • Color copies: 40 cents per page

Once the $10 credit is exhausted, students will need to purchase additional print credits at the same rates by adding money to their accounts online or at any CSN Cashier’s Office.

Important Notes

  • Printing dollars added to your account do not carry over if you do not use them by the end of the semester. The account will reset each semester with the $10 credit.
  • Any additional funds you add to your account will carry over to the next semester, unless you request a refund.

Refunds & Reprints

  • Refunds:
    • If you would like a refund for money you added to your Print Wise account, please visit the Cashier’s Office for assistance.
  • Reprints:
    • If your print job is affected by issues like a printer jam or low toner, and the final product is unclear, you can obtain a reprint from a lab assistant or librarian.

Helpful Hints for Printing

  • Pages and Printing:
    • One page is defined as one printed side of a sheet of paper.
    • Double-sided printing: If you print on both sides of a sheet, it counts as two pages.
  • Semester Reset:
    • At the start of each semester, if you did not use the full $10 credit, your account will be reset to $10. Unused funds will not carry over unless you add more money to your account.
