JHUSON Student Print and Use
Statistics Statistics show that personal paper use is one of the major factors driving today's environmentally damaging and extreme paper waste. The average daily web user prints 28 pages daily. 115 billion sheets of paper are used annually for personal computers.
To reduce the amount of paper waste, control increasing costs, and provide better printing options to our students, on May 24, 2013, the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing will implement a printing and photo copying control system. We will implement the solution by working with Centric Business Systems, the same company that provides the printing solution used in the Bloomberg School of Public Health (SPH).

All other schools within Johns Hopkins University already implement controls on student copying and printing. Most do not provide free printing, and the costs range from $.04 to $.10 per page. We have chosen to match the quotas and costs currently offered by the SPH. All SON students (BS, MSN, DNP, PhD) will be given a quota of 1000 free black and white prints or photo copies each academic year (May 24, 2013 to May 31, 2014 in year 1, then from June 1 to the following May 31 thereafter), and any prints or copies beyond 1000 will be billed to the student's ISIS billing account at $.04 per page.
