What is CatPRINTS?

In January 2024, the Division of IT (DoIT) announced it would launch a centrally managed student printing services system, supported by IT Support Services, to improve the user experience for our students. This project was created in response to feedback from the IT End-User Survey, where students indicated that existing printing services on campus are too expensive, difficult to use, and unreliable. Although the implementation has been delayed, the solution will launch in locations across campus for the start of Fall 2024 semester

Key aspects of the project include: 

• Improved user experience
• consistent and easy to use across campus
• each semester, the first 50 prints are free ($5 value)
