Papercut

Yakima Valley College and the State of Washington are working to reduce waste, reduce electricity, reduce paper consumption, and provide cost savings to increase student and faculty/staff efficiency. Starting Spring Quarter YVC will begin using a print management system, Papercut. Papercut will provide the college with stats regarding student printing that include tree consumption, C02 produced, and electricity consumption stats. The system will limit student printing to 500 sheets to per quarter, but additional copies are available for a small fee.

  1. All student printers will have a per page cost.
    • 1 side = 1 page
    • Duplex = 2 pages
  2. Students will be allocated 500 free Black & White pages per quarter. After each quarter, free page allocation will be reset to 500. The balance remaining from the previous quarter will not roll into the following quarter.

Proctored Testing

The Library does not proctor tests. If you require a test proctor or an access code for a test in Canvas, go the Computer Lab/Student Testing Center in Deccio 208 and 230 (Building 8).

Public Access

There is one stand-up computer available for use by community members. Please limit use to 60 minutes per day. Printing is available at $.15 per page for black & white, $1.00 for color. Save documents on a USB drive and bring the drive to the library’s desk to have the documents printed and to pay for them. Cash is required. Photocopiers and the scanner/fax machine may also be used by community members with cash.
