Printer Locations

Locations spanning four campuses are conveniently spaced to enable printing. Options include scanning, printing, copying, poster size, and 3-D printing. Future locations include the addition of 14 plotters for ease of printing larger documents.

Through a partnership with Student Government and USF Information Technology, enhancements have been made to the free printing program on campus.  Students are given an allotment of $3.00 per day to be used for printing on campus. Any amount over $3.00 daily can be printed using Bull Buck$.

• Students can use their free print allocations for copies at all of the locations unless otherwise noted.

• Students can print from their personal computers.

• Students can print via email attachment.

• Students can print to the free print locations from within the USF Application Gateway.

• Students can continue to print using Bull Bucks once their daily free prints allocation is reached.
