Printouts/photocopies

Students at Østfold University College are from the autumn 2004 required to bear the costs for printouts and photocopies by paying for each printout. Previously there was a flat fee each term. This step has been taken to reduce materials costs and paper consumption at the University College. You can read about the principles of the printout fee here.

Prices

The first 50 printouts (one-sided black) are free of charge (included in the printout fee).

After that, prices are:

The fee will be used to cover purchase of new equipment as well as ink and paper, and for maintenance. It is a non-profit service, which means that prices will be adjusted on a yearly basis in accordance with the actual consumption.

Please note

Costs incurred because of incorrect use will not be refunded.

• If you have ordered 10 copies of a document you have to pay for them even if you only wanted one.
• If you have sent the wrong file for printout you still have to pay for all the pages you get out.

Also, unused “money” on the chip and prepaid printouts will not be refunded.

The payment works like this

1. Charging: You charge your student card at the student reception OR you charge your student card with included money-chip from a special cashpoint machine placed at the following places: The cafeteria at campus Fredrikstad; the staircase 1^st floor (Norwegian 2^nd floor) at campus Sarpsborg; the ground-floor by the cashpoint machine at Remmen in Halden.

2. Photocopying: After charging your student card you can use it to pay for photocopies by using the card reader attached to the students’ photocopier. Click here for instructions for use.
3. Printout: After it has been charged your student card can also be used to pay for printouts. This is done at a pay terminal placed together with the cashpoint machine. Click here for instructions for use.
