Printing

CCNY is continuing their "green" printing policy for Student Technology Fee supported computer labs. By encouraging more conscientious printing habits and reducing waste, green printing will help our college community achieve its goal of creating a more sustainable campus. Any cost-savings realized from this initiative will be reinvested into services that directly support our students.

Current students printing from Tech Fee-funded labs will be allotted 1,000 print credits per current student in the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer periods.
