PLFSOM Student Guides: PaperCut

This guide is designed to provide Medical Students with direct access to critical materials.

$400.00 Library Printing Credit

On June 15, 2023 each medical student will receive a $400.00 credit in their library PaperCut account. 

  • In order to automatically receive this credit, a student needs to have an existing PaperCut account. 
  • Students who have not yet created a PaperCut account  on June 15, 2023 will need to create a PaperCut account and then ask a library employee to fund their account in order to receive their $400 PaperCut allocation for the 2023-2024 school year. 
  • Students have until May 31, 2024 to use the annually allocated $400 in their PaperCut account.
  • Students who have never created a PaperCut accounts will lose the ability to claim their $400.00 for the 2023-2024 school year on May 31, 2024.
  • PaperCut accounts can be used to pay for black-and-white prints, color prints, poster prints (paper & vinyl), 3D prints, poster tubes, and library fines.
  • Black-and-white prints and color prints can be printed 24/7 in the MSBII Library by using a library computer.  Poster prints (paper & vinyl), 3D prints, poster tubes, and library fines can only be purchased at a library service desk for a library staff member.  Computers in the MEB Library, which also print black-and-white prints and color prints are only available for student use when the library staff are present.
  • Library printers only communicate with library computers through the wired campus network.  Library printers cannot be accessed using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
  • Funds in PaperCut accounts cannot be replenished before June 1, 2024.  Once a student has spent their entire $400 annual allocation, they may no longer use their PaperCut account to pay for prints. 
  • Students using PaperCut funds to pay for library printing will not be charged sales tax on their purchases.
  • Students who have spent all the money in their PaperCut accounts can order prints in the libraries by bringing the files they wish printed to the library staff at the service desk, having the library staff print the files, and paying for the prints with a credit/debit card.  Sales tax will be charged on all credit/debit card purchases, and payment needs to be made when the prints are received.
