Over the summer recent changes were made to printing on campus by GTS. These changes included removing printers from residence halls and decreasing the number of printers overall on campus. These decisions were made to cut costs on printing materials, such as ink and paper. Student Senate is working with GTS to make sure there is transparency with the students on printing. Here you will find updated information about how to print, where to print and why these changes were made.
