What happens if I print more than 500 pages per term?

If you exceed the 500 page print quota in a single term, you will automatically be charged for additional pages at a rate of $0.025 per page. This will be billed to your student account.

What is the print quota?

Printing in the Portland State University general access computing labs is regulated by print quotas. Each user is allocated 500 pages per term that do not carry over to the next term. Users that do not exceed their quota will not incur any charges. Users that print more than 500 pages per term will be assesed a per-page fee.

Single Click Remote Assistance

Single Click is a screen sharing application that allows a help desk technician to remotely interact with your desktop. Please contact the help desk before launching a remote session, as the technician's software must be in listening mode before contact can be made. Additionally, the technician may resolve your question without the use of remote software.

You can revoke control by right clicking the icon in your system tray (bottom right corner of the desktop near the clock).
