Print quota

Students (undergraduate and postgraduate) and staff are allocated a print quota to subsidise their print, copy and scanning costs. Print quotas are linked to your ANU ID card.

Your print quota is $44, which is the equivalent of 400 A4 single-sided, black-and-white pages, and is allocated in the first week of January and July each year. Please note there is no carry-over of your quota between semesters and subsidies may change from year to year, based on the cost of this service.

PhD students or researchers with affiliate accounts are not provided with a quota. If you do not have a quota you can log a request with the IT Service Desk and this will be investigated.
